Recently strings behavior was changed, they are now codepage-aware. The

To handle non-string data, you should use RawByteString type, or better
yet non-string types like (dynamic) array of byte.
So TBlobField.Value probably should be changed to array of byte and there
should be a TField.AsByteArray property?
Yes, Certainly. Or better even Stream objects.
Why not use (or introduce) an TBlob type, matching the need of DB users
and other users, which currently use strings for storing raw bytes. It
must not be a really new type, just an alias for the suggested type for
such content.
