The only 'problem' is that TStrings uses a single-byte string.
Why can't that be changed to a UnicodeString or UTF8String - after all, the Unicode standard is meant to support all languages. I would have thought that would be an obvious move for a Unicode-aware RTL. TStrings could also be extended (if it hasn't already) to keep track of what encoding is read in from file, and what encoding in should procedure when lines are extracted - in case those two encodings are not the same.
