Hi,

To properly display BLOB subtype Text with UTF8 characters,
what should be done with regard to fetching blob data and the
API?

I'm currently using IBObjects which doesn't support this, see:

Is there something specific IBO should set before fetching the BLOB
that it currently only does for varchar data?
