Your question was not about Lazarus but maybe you should read this:

Very interesting, but apparently there is some wrong info.
It says "On Linux and Mac OS X UTF-8 is typically the system codepage, so the
RTL uses
here by default CP_UTF8."
Not on my Mac. DefaultSystemCodePage is 20127 before I set it to 65001.
Should I fix this bit on the documentation page?
No. It says 'typically'.
That doesn't necessarily mean it is so, but is mostly correct.
Apparently the LCL assumes that FCL sets it to UTF-8, but it does not.
I think the LCL should explicitly set it to CP_UTF8 on Mac and Linux.
No, that would be wrong. it normally is CP_UTF8 on linux. But it can differ.
I know people that still use ISO-8895 (or something similar). Only the
programmer can know what is correct.
