[sword-devel] StrongsHebrew module does not display on Windows and Android

I found that the StrongsHebrew module does not have a entry like this:
   Encoding=UTF-8
The sword "isUnicode" function returns false, which causes BibleTime to 
try to read the module using "Windows-1252". This seems to have been the 
standard for sword modules 10 or more years ago. The problem is that 
"Windows-1252" does not exist on Windows or Android. This makes 
StrongsHebrew unusable for them. StrongsRealHebrew does not have this 
problem.

Can the StrongsHebrew module be fixed?

Are there other modules with this issue?
