There is a difference between Delphi accepting it and doing something sane.

FPC afaik also accepts and afaik also doesn't do anything sane, so that is
compatible :-)

Btw in this thread it was already mentioned that Delphi doesn't define
CP_UTF16, but one easily could define it and create the above code.
