Summary0000019: Workshop items with unicode characters in title or description show garbage in-game
Description

If you browse the workshop for mods or blueprints and select one that has unicode characters, there's a lot of text garbage displayed to the user.

This happens because of a bug in Steamworks.NET. The Steam API sends back workshop title and description in UTF-8, however Steamworks doesn't marshal this correctly, and it's interpreted as ANSI. This causes the .NET string object to contain UTF-8 code points interepreted as bytes. These bytes are what are shown as latin1 characters.

Steps To Reproduce

Subscribe or favorite one or more of these blueprints or mods:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2071597918
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1714426318
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1917252152

Either go into the mod browser before loading a world, or load the world and access the blueprint screen.
Select either favorited, or subscribed, as appropriate.
