Unicode support in FPC?

Sorry for jumping in. I am not so much interested in Unicode because I mostly use shortstrings and ansistrings for performance reasons. But may be it is worth to look how the gcc people have solved these issues.

They didn't. C does not support strings. For any string operation a C programmer calls a library function. For Unicode this can be a Win32 API call, but also a libc call, or an iconv call. It's an unportable mess.
