title: Convert utf-8 encoded varbinary(max) data to nvarchar(max) string
body: <p>Is there a simple way to convert a utf-8 encoded varbinary(max) column to varchar(max) in T-SQL. Something like <code>CONVERT(varchar(max), [MyDataColumn])</code>. Best would be a solution that does not need custom functions.
  Currently, i convert the data on the client side, but this has the downside, that correct filtering and sorting is not as efficient as done server-side.</p>
