Description
Currently STEP serialized IFC requires string encoding according to ISO 8859-1.
(more info on https://technical.buildingsmart.org/resources/ifcimplementationguidance/string-encoding/)
The latest STEP ISO standard has the ability to use UTF8 for encoding, which is widely adopted and the defacto standard.
I suggest to use UTF8 encoding for all serializations of IFC.
