Description
### Problem description
"Label" and "Label2" object properties have the encoding, namely `(UTF8)`, in their user facing descriptions. This is implementation detail, and only serves to confuse end users; the fields ought to work with *any* text the user can enter.
Handling of all string properties are slowly being migrated to UTF-8 anyway, so the distinction isn't even worth pointing out.
### Workbench affected?
Core (App, Gui,...)
### Steps to reproduce
Hover over either Label or Label2 in the properties pane.
### Expected behavior
No implementation detail to appear in the tooltips.
### Actual behavior
### Development version About Info (in Safe Mode)
Any
### Last known good version (optional)
None relevant, present since FreeCAD was migrated from SVN to `git`.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the property definitions and user-facing descriptions for Label and Label2, then inspect how those descriptions appear in the properties pane tooltips. Done means the `(UTF8)` implementation detail is removed from both tooltips; verify by hovering over Label and Label2 in the properties pane.
