You must be *displaying* the blob in something. Even the VCL controls (including TDBMemo and TMemo) all have a font.Charset property that's just defaulted unless you set it to be aware of the charset of the data. So what you're after is a streamable control that offers similar for UTF8. I suspect you will need the TNT controls to handle that.
