Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
I want to be able to create a string variable and say "hey, this string is UTF8 and you should use whatever codepages necessary to render it" without having to set all the codepages on my whole analysis.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I have a string with some UTF8 and it is not rendering
Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Current workaround: reopen file with options and enable the various relevant codepages. In my case, that was Geometric Shapes".

Start with the UTF8 string renderer request and inspect the binary identified by Binary ref 539ac209-d40f-4411-9e27-bf58ce286f34 to reproduce the missing rendering behavior. Done should allow a string to request UTF8 rendering with the required codepages without changing whole-analysis options.
