I'm nevertheless going to point you to a thread which was started
Saturday and concluded today.
When I want to simply assign a constant text "ö2" to a WideString I
would think that I just write s := 'ö2'; . But I found that this
does not work, but that it creates a WideString of length 3 that
contains the three 8-Bit subcodes of the utf8-coded string "ö2",
zero-extended to 16 Bits, each in one WideChar element. For me this
is very surprising and incompatible to the same code (s := 'ö2'; )
used in a Turbo-Delphi program.

Please read the entire thread, and if you have more question
afterwards, then ask them.
