Theoretically it can be in any encoding iff the encoding is saved too.
Without this information the code is useless to all others.
Pascal has no convention about encoding so there are two possible
defaults: Use the system charset or an 8-bit unicode. For Lazarus UTF-8
was chosen.
If you want to extend the IDE to load/save text files in other
encodings you are welcome.
