Mmmm ... not that many answers ...

Let me try another question: does the link below correctly state the current use and especially future of FPC / Lazarus ?

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Better_Unicode_Support_in_Lazarus

Especially (quotes):
* The goal of FPC project is to create a Delphi compatible UnicodeString (UTF-16) based solution. * If you want to use the new UTF-8 strings in your non LCL programs, add LazUTF8 unit in the uses section of the main program file.
* UTF8String becomes useful when eventually there is an UTF-16 FCL.

In addition to the above: how do I know how far FPC trunk is on the roadmap as described in the link.

This is not very clear. Where do you see a roadmap in this page?

And to the best of my knowledge, FPC doesn't have a roadmap where strings
are concerned.
