Introduction
The following code snippet shows how to convert string encoding in ABAP using the functionalities of package SIXML (iXML Library: Parsing, DOM Representation, and XML Rendering).
Code Snippet(s)
DATA: lv_content_string TYPE string, "the source string lv_target_encoding TYPE string DEFAULT 'UTF-8', lr_ixml TYPE REF TO if_ixml, lr_stream_factory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory, lr_encoding TYPE REF TO if_ixml_encoding, lr_resstream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream, lv_content_xstring TYPE xstring. "the result string as binary string CLEAR rv_content_xstring. * Instanciate iXML object. lr_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ). * Instanciate a stream factory. lr_stream_factory = lr_ixml->create_stream_factory( ). * Setup target encoding information. lr_encoding = lr_ixml->create_encoding( character_set = lv_target_encoding byte_order = 0 ). * Create the stream specifying where to push the output. lr_resstream = lr_stream_factory->create_ostream_xstring( lv_content_xstring ). * Set the output encoding. CALL METHOD lr_resstream->set_encoding( lr_encoding ). * Transform the data encoding. CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE XML lv_content_string RESULT XML lr_resstream.
Explanation
The functionalities of class CL_IXML are used to convert the string encoding via stream processing.

Hello Johannes,
for pure code page conversion check class CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE, i.e.
cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( encoding = ‘UTF-8’ )->convert(
EXPORTING data = iv_string
IMPORTING buffer = rv_xstring ).
