Convert Utf8 to Unicode

Question

I have a text file. I should convert it to Utf8. After converting, all the numbers in the file are converted to question marks. For example 1380 is converted to 4 question marks like this: '????'. I'm using delphi 2009.

This is my code for converting:

RichEdit1.Lines.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName,TEncoding.UTF8);

How can i correct this conversion?

Answer 1

You should use TEncoding.Unicode if your file is in UTF-16LE ("Unicode") format. Or you should convert your file to UTF-8 before loading it into RichEdit.
