What are you doing exactly to get the UTF-8 string back?

As Eric pointed out STRCONV() can be used to convert back and forth, but if you're interacting with .NET (or COM in general) you should only get Unicode back which should auto-convert to your current FoxPro code page.

One other thing that's useful is that VFP 9 allows STRTOFILE to import UTF-8 files and strip the BOM and auto-convert from UTF-8. Look at the eFlags parameter.
