So it makes sense that TStrings should use UnicodeString internally to
store its data. The Unicode standard is also the only standard that
can support any language.
But in fact "Unicode" is just a universal standard defining 64 bit
entities. The encoding of those varies: UTF-8, UTF-16 high byte first,
UTF-16 low byte first, 64 bit low byte first, 64 bit high byte first,
.... fpc and Delphi do support several of those as a string encoding
(and with that crating any number of problems).
