Wonder no more: 1) "string" uses a Unicode encoding 2) AnsiString/UTF8String casts perform appropriate conversions 3) File APIs support Unicode filenames 4) Windows headers use W version by default. 5) LCL and RTL agree on string encoding 6) In a stable Lazarus and FPC release As long as the language and libraries agree on an encoding I don't really care whether it's UTF-8 or UTF-16. I've also been working with Unicode since 2001 though, and have had to deal with plenty of different encodings, file formats, and API conversions in that time, so I don't think our usage is indicative of the average Delphi programmer, and I wouldn't want to speak for anyone else. -- Craig Peterson Scooter Software -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
