### Examples

Shows how to detect UTF-8 characters while loading an RTF document.

```python
# Create an "RtfLoadOptions" object to modify how we load an RTF document.
load_options = aw.loading.RtfLoadOptions()
# Set the "RecognizeUtf8Text" property to "false" to assume that the document uses the ISO 8859-1 charset
# and loads every character in the document.
# Set the "RecognizeUtf8Text" property to "true" to parse any variable-length characters that may occur in the text.
load_options.recognize_utf8_text = recognize_utf_8_text
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'UTF-8 characters.rtf', load_options=load_options)
self.assertEqual('“John Doe´s list of currency symbols”™\r' + '€, ¢, £, ¥, ¤' if recognize_utf_8_text else '“John Doe´s list of currency symbolsâ€\x9dâ„¢\r' + '€, ¢, £, Â¥, ¤', doc.first_section.body.get_text().strip())
```
