'''encoding convertfrom''' ''?encoding? data''

Convert ''data'' to Unicode from the specified encoding. The characters in ''data'' are treated as binary data where the lower 8-bits of each character is taken as a single byte. The resulting sequence of bytes is treated as a string in the specified ''encoding''. If ''encoding'' is not specified, the current system encoding is used.
