Answer 1

I found only one way to do this effectively, feel free to add your own research.

uses
  LConvEncoding;

...

function ConvertStrFromCP1250ToUnicode(TextAsCP1250: string): unicodestring;

var
  TextAsUTF8: string;

begin

  TextAsUTF8 := CP1250ToUTF8(TextAsCP1250);

  Result := TextAsUTF8;

end;
