I am developing a console application which receives an UTF-8
encoded text through stdin.
The text is, after possible modification, sent to SAPI5. The SAPI5
generated interface wrappers have parameters of type string.
In FPC 2.6.4, I used UTF8toANSI on various places and that worked
well. Now after reading about FPC 3.x's unicode support, I thought
that adding this line say after begin in the main program could be
enough:
SetMultiByteConversionCodePage(CP_UTF8);
It however doesn't work.
That routine sets the default code page for ansistrings. It does not
change I/O.
How can I solve this without conversion to ANSI?
The code page can be set per I/O channel:

Michael: I just noticed a typo on that page, under "Description" it
says GetTextCodePage instead of SetTextCodePage)
