You are not the only one.
Given that I am on Lazarus, so all my source files are UTF8 encoded I
got confused by this:
unit1
{$codepage utf8}
interface
const
  msCopy = 'Kopiƫren...';
....

Than in main program:
Label1.Caption := msgCopy;

This does not show the text correctly.
I have to include {$codepage utf8} in the source code file that
contains the "Label1.Caption := msgCopy;" otherwise it does not
display correctly.
So basically I have that in all source code that does display text (in a GUI).
And if I do so, I can omit the codepage directive in unit1.
This is a bit counter intuitive to me.
