The results will certainly be unrecognizable if viewed as a raw string. Each
unicode character may become one, two or three characters when encoded to
UTF8. Only the characters in the range 0-127 are preserved unencoded which
will allow you to call UTF8Encode and then HttpEncode successfully. I
suspect that the inspector tool you are using in JAVA understands the string
is UTF8 and decodes it for you when you look at it. Delphi inspector does
not decode it for viewing so you what looks like garbage. Nevertheless, the
function does work.
