Important part you are forgetting: {$IFDEF UTF8_RTL}

I don't know why it is needed in the utf-8 RTL, since I haven't used
this RTL yet, but in the RTL that I am using it doesn't depend in that
unit :)

Anyway, what I meant is that the routines themselves are Pascal
implementations of the Unicode standard. We even have
uppercase/lowercase tables. So we depend as little as possible on
system stuff. More reliable, more cross-platform and some routines
actually are several times faster than system ones.
