We were seeing issues with non-latin 708 captions not being displayed correctly. It appears that the issue that we are not always handling multi-byte characters correctly.
This fix proposes that in the case where we see a multi-byte character without a pre-designated decoder, we send the byte array through a function to turn it into a hex string, and then from there decode it into the character.
