[OS_Process->SetEncoding]

[OS_Process->SetEncoding] sets the character set which is used for the automatic conversion of data passed to the native process using [OS_Process->Write] and read from the process using [OS_Process->ReadString] or [OS_Process->ReadLine]. By default the encoding is set to UTF-8 if no character set has been set. If a byte stream is passed to [OS_Process->Write] then no encoding is applied and [OS_Process->Read] can be used to read the result of the native process as a raw byte stream.
