Your code is already correct. It will convert from ANSI to UTF-16 with no loss of information.

Thus I conclude that the information is lost when you assign to the AnsiString variable. In other words, the error in your code is contained in the .... part of your code.

The error will likely be that the data and the code page of your AnsiString variable do not match.
