Preference - text encoding

[User_Russian]

From help

The file format is in unicode UTF-8

What if the ini file was created by another program (not PB) and has ascii encoding (national alphabet characters are used) or Unicode?
Preference library cannot load data correctly. It is necessary to add to the OpenPreferences and CreatePreferences functions, the encoding argument (he can be #PB_Ascii, #PB_UTF8 or #PB_Unicode).
