UTF8ToCP1250 function
Converts a string from UTF-8 encoding to Code Page 1250.
Declaration
function UTF8ToCP1250(const s: string; SetTargetCodePage: Boolean=False)
: RawByteStringDescription
UTF8ToCP1250 is a
RawByteString function used to
convert a UTF-8-encoded string to the Code Page 1250 (Central European)
encoding.
UTF8ToCP1250 calls the UTF8ToSingleByte routine using UnicodeToCP1250 to perform character conversions needed for the target encoding. System code pages are not used (when enabled) because of a failure when translating Unicode code points (#129) to the target code page. The character translation table in UnicodeToCP1250 is used instead. When SetTargetCodePage is True, SetCodePage is called (without character conversion) to set the code page to 1250 in the return value.
UTF8ToCP1250 is used in the implementation of the ConvertEncodingFromUTF8 encoding conversion routine.
