Did you actually read the wiki-page? The new UTF-8 system is explained there. It is a hack but a clever one. The latest chapter by Mattias explains why UTFString should not be used now. FYI Ondrej, having overloaded versions only for procedures taking var parameters makes no sense even when using DisableUTF8RTL. Lossy conversion would happen in every function using "String" type. Instead all functions must be copied and UTF8String must be used everywhere. The current functions make sense only with our new UTF-8 system which changes AnsiString encoding to UTF-8.
