UTF8ToCP874 function
Converts a string from UTF-8 encoding to Code Page 874.
Declaration
function UTF8ToCP874(const s: string; SetTargetCodePage: Boolean=False)
: RawByteStringArguments
s | UTF-8-encoded string value converted in the routine. |
SetTargetCodePage | True if the target code page is set in the return value, False if a code page is not used. |
Function result
String value after conversion to Code Page 874.
Description
UTF8ToCP874 is a
RawByteString function used to convert
a UTF-8-encoded string to the Code Page 874 (Thai) encoding.
UTF8ToCP874 calls the UTF8ToSingleByte routine using UnicodeToCP874 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 UnicodeToCP874 is used instead. When SetTargetCodePage is True, SetCodePage is called (without character conversion) to set the code page to 874 in the return value.
UTF8ToCP874 is used in the implementation of the ConvertEncodingFromUTF8 encoding conversion routine.
