Hi,
In 2008 and 2011 there were threads about FPC and Unicode resource
strings with the conclusion that FPC does not support them.
Are Unicode resource strings implemented in FPC now? I did not find it in
documentation.

At the moment FPC resource strings are still ansi strings even in delphi
unicode mode.

Thanks Jonas and Paul.
Please permit a little comment. All what was missing for good multi language
Unicode support in FPC after Florian and Peter implemented widestrings (which
were reference counted on all platforms at the beginning!) are Unicode
resource strings. Now, many years later, we still don't have Unicode resource
strings but we have codepage aware 8-bit strings? I don't understand the
priorities.

Just to avoid confusion: The reference counted 2-byte string type on all platforms is UnicodeString, not WideString (the latter is not reference counted on Windows platforms).

The codepage aware string type was added to 2.7.1, because there already existed a branch for this and "just" needed to be merged. There does not yet exist any code for Unicode resource strings.

Regards,
Sven
