            // library assumes UTF-8 variable sized characters. This makes a difference for the LIKE and GLOB
            // operators and the LENGTH() and SUBSTR() functions. The static string sqlite_encoding will be set
            // to either "UTF-8" or "iso8859" to indicate how the library was compiled. In addition, the sqlite.h
            // header file will define one of the macros SQLITE_UTF8 or SQLITE_ISO8859, as appropriate.
