Find Function fails in search for unicode strings in binary files #96

As the image below shows, the find function fails when searching for a unicode string in a binary file, although it would have "succeeded" if the file contained a matching ANSI string. It may simply be ignoring the Unicode choice and always searching for ANSI.

These test results were produced using HexEditor.dll v0.9.13, dated 8/17/2025, running under Notepad++ v8.8.5. The file loaded and viewed in hex format is actually the same "HexEditor.dll" file, so I'm sure it's a file that you have handy.
