(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.

Yes, in a grid, obviously.

But that's not what I'm asking --

I'm saying it displays fine for VARCHAR, but not for a Text Blob.

Why is there a difference? Is it IBO, should I change something?

Or is it something else?
