How Do I Show My UTF8 String on the Screen? (Magic xpa 4.x)

Sometimes you get a UTF8 string from an external source, such as a Web Service or a text file. In order to see the UTF8 strings, you should convert it to ANSI and then convert the ANSI value to a Unicode format.

In order to do this, you need to have the UTF8ToAnsi function embedded in the UnicodeFromANSI function. The syntax would be, for example, UnicodeFromANSI(UTF8ToAnsi(A),936). In this example, A is the BLOB Binary variable containing the UTF8 string and 936 is the codepage of the string, Chinese in this case.

This only works when the data contains one language.
