Full Unicode support is for FPC 2.4. If you need it today, widestrings
are your best option.
Unfortunately working with WideString in Lazarus is close to impossible
as the LCL API is done with UTF8String and there is no correct automatic
conversion between UTF8String and WideString, as the compiler can't tell
UTF8String from ANSIString.
Moreover assigning a constant string to a WideString needs manual call
to a conversion (in run-time) when using Lazarus.
