So that is likely generating Latin-1/ISO-8859-1 especially if the old version does not have unicode mode enabled. > We are upgrading to v16, so I tried filling a text > variable and with the data and then doing a text top document.

UTF-8 is not iso-8859-1, so I would not expect it to work correctly. For the blob commands you need to use "Mac text without length" option. For the text/document commands use the "ISO-8859-1" character set.
