I am trying to figure out how to do that, or what I do wrong. I found a page about $codepage, but it did not help http://wiki.freepascal.org/LCL_Unicode_Support
I didnt find the fpc specific page, if exists (I suspect it does)


I am calling a function "function Foo(A:string)" {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
I call it with a constant, that contains an german umlaut. Checked with a hex editor, the constant in the source file is utf8

- If I save the source (in utf8), without a utf8 BOM, then it works fine on windows. - If I had a bom, then the string received by the function appears to be ascii (checked memory dump in debugger "oe" becomes d6
- if I add {$codepage utf8} it also becomes ascii

If I do *not* add that, it seems something gos wrong with the encoding on a PowerPC Mac. Unfortunately this is someone else's pc, and I have no more info.
If I add it things also go wrong, only different. Again no more info.

I know the provided info, is very little. If there is anything obvious then tell me.

Thanks

Probably this is due to significant change in FPC 2.7 RTL

*String* type implies the encoding inside
under WIndows it is ANSI by default.

Martin's question is related to 2.6.0 (see his mail's subject) not 2.7.1.
