Used idaapi.get_str_type_code() and extracted the different components of a string in order to properly construct a unicode string. This avoids IDA's method (I'd call it a hack) of encoding mbcs strings as UTF-8 and decoding UTF-8 in the console. This way a user doesn't have to utf-8 decode their string in order to convert it back to the original bytes that were pulled from the database.
This closes issue #20
