An ansistring is always 8-bit.
Sorry I can't follow here.
Of course the term "ANSI" suggests 8 bit, but it also suggest one
visible character = 8 bit, thus non UTF.
ANSI also covers MBCS (DBCS).
If a type called "ANSI..." is used to hold UTF codes, the term ANSI is
abused anyway and now the handling of the type can be defined in any way
that seems appropriate,
For legacy reasons "Ansi" means types with 8 bit AnsiChar(!), in
contrast to WideChar or other Char sizes.
