The encoding property of a button, graphic or group returns native if the engine is storing the label or text in the native encoding and unicode otherwise. The encoding property of a field, or chunk of a field, returns native if the specified chunk is stored in native encoding, unicode if it is UTF-16, and mixed if it is a combination of the two.
