Yeah, and everything you said applies to fpGUI, except I use TfpgString, TfpgChar and the UTF-8 encoding. Though I would prefer having the native encoding on each platform - thus less conversions and improved performance. > From my point of view there is no need for a complicated encoding > aware unicode string type which possibly is slower, needs more memory > and introduces new bugs. There shouldn't be anything complicated for the developer or enduser. UnicodeString under Linux and Mac should be UTF-8, under Windows it should be UTF-16. Everything else is exactly the same as you already do in your code. As for your comment on memory usage. UTF-8 on average uses less memory than UTF-16. There was a few studies done - Google should find them for you.
