As Mattias said, the fact that the source unit is UTF-8 encoded.
Defined by a BOM marker, or -Fcutf8 or {$codepage utf8}. If the source
unit is UTF-8 encoded, the literal string constant can't (and
shouldn't) be in any other encoding.
I would say the same if the source unit was stored in UTF-16
encoding. Then string literals would be treated as UTF-16.
It's perfectly logical to me.
