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.
That's because you don't use the cwstring unit nor another widestring
manager. In that case, the DefaultSystemCodePage is set to ASCII
because the default string conversion routines on Unix platforms do
not support anything else (neither for converting from
ansi/shortstring to wide/unicodestring, nor between ansistrings using
different codepages). This is not new with FPC 3.0, it has always been
like that.
