Hi,

Try this Code to convert data as per the UTF format...

DATA: conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_out_ce,
        convin   TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
        l_data   TYPE string,
        record_length TYPE i,
        l_buffer TYPE xstring.


  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <x_data1> TYPE c,
                 <x_data2> TYPE string,
                 <x_data3> TYPE xstring.

  ASSIGN p_data TO <x_data1> CASTING.
  ASSIGN l_data TO <x_data2> CASTING.

  <x_data2> = <x_data1>.

  conv = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( encoding = 'UTF-8'
                                      endian   = 'L'
                                      ignore_cerr = 'X'
                                      replacement = '#' ).
  CALL METHOD conv->write( data = l_data ).
* CALL METHOD CONV->WRITE( DATA = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF ).

  l_buffer = conv->get_buffer( ).

  CALL METHOD cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create
    EXPORTING
      encoding    = 'UTF-8'
      endian      = 'L'
      ignore_cerr = 'X'
      replacement = '#'
      input       = l_buffer
    RECEIVING
      conv        = convin.

  CALL METHOD convin->read
    IMPORTING
      data = l_data.

  CALL METHOD conv->reset.

  <x_data1> = <x_data2>.
