I am trying to write a password exporter for the mac keychain and am using security dump-keychain -d login.keychain that is explained in questions 717095. However, I cannot figure out what character encoding the blob data has.

Examples:

What character encoding is being used here?

Edit: You can use security dump-keychain | grep "\\\\" to see examples more examples of the format.

The output format for security dump-keychain -d login.keychain uses octal format instead of hex or decimal.

The codes then map to the utf-8 character encoding format.
