Did you ever have a look at Delphi StrUtils.pas?
Why reinvent the wheel, when functions already exist for some purpose?

The "Ansi" prefix can be removed in an environment where the encoding of 
the string arguments is known (e.g. fixed to UTF-8).

The bad news about new Delphi strings is the addition (overload) of 
functions with RawByteString arguments, which *take* strings of any 
encoding, but then *ignore* that encoding. These versions certainly must 
fail for all MBCS encodings :-(
