So, as far as Ive understood,  without {$codepage cp1252}, when I read 
the string from a file, it supposes it is utf8, even when it is not a 
valid utf8 string.

And ansiToUtf8 doesn't suppose that the input string ansi, but utf8? I 
can't understand what is ansiToUtf8  for.

OK. that is the solution I've chosen.
