Default encoding not UTF-8?

According to Xojo docs “Strings have a UTF-8 Encoding by default”

• Encoding — Xojo documentation

But when I create a string in Xojo 2023R4 (Windows), the default encoding is US-ASCII. Example:

Dim s as string
dim enc as textencoding = s.encoding

How do I make the default encoding UTF-8, so that I don’t have to DefineEncoding for every string?

(Yes, “Read the Xojo documentation” - but where?)
