Description
Describe the new feature
Edit database cell window insists on binary mode for BLOB field with Unicode (UTF-8, for example).
Dropdown list has Text mode, but this is good only for ASCII (or ANSI).
It would be nice to see readable text; therefore at least UTF-8 mode could be added. Though UTF-16 LE, UTF-16 BE and UTF-32 might be considered too.

Research direction
The issue points to the Edit database cell window and its existing Text/Binary dropdown; begin by locating that UI and the BLOB display or decoding path. Confirm the behavior with a UTF-8 BLOB, with completion requiring a readable UTF-8 mode and consideration of UTF-16 and UTF-32 modes.
