We will soon be undergoing scheduled maintenance to our database layer. We expect GitLab.com to be unavailable for up to 2 hours starting from 2022-07-02 06:00 UTC. Please note that any CI jobs that start before the maintenance window but complete during the window period will fail and may need to be started again.

ConvertEncoding to UTF8 does not set the string code page

LConvEncoding.ConvertEncoding(~, ~, 'UTF8', True) and LConvEncoding.ConvertEncodingToUTF8 do not set a correct string code page for the result. The code page gets inherited from the input string. The end result is a corrupted string.

Broken in:

Lazarus 2.3.0 rmain-2_3-321-g5ae19e4e FPC 3.2.0 i386-win32-win32/win64
Lazarus 2.0.12 r64642 FPC 3.2.0 i386-win32-win32/win64

Works correctly in:

Lazarus 2.0.4 r61665 FPC 3.0.4 i386-win32-win32/win64

Sample code will be attached in comments.
