It affects how the compiler interprets characters > #127 inside  
constant strings appearing in your source code. This can affect both  
ansistrings and widestrings in your program, depending on whether or  
not you assign constant strings containing such characters to resp.  
ansistring or widestring variables (since depending on the codepage,  
those characters will mean something different and hence your strings  
will get different content).
