Windows controls don't support UTF-8 natively; they only take UTF-16. You can convert the UTF-8 string to UTF-16 and send it to the static control as follows (requires BB4W v5.93a):
Code: L% = LEN(utf8$)+1
utf16$ = STRING$(2*L%, CHR$0)
SYS "MultiByteToWideChar", CP_UTF8, 0, utf8$, -1, utf16$, L%
SYS "SetDlgItemTextW", !dlg%, idstatic%, utf16$
You will also need to ensure that a Unicode font is selected.
