So #n or #nn or #nnn or #nnnn or #nnnnn always means Unicode codepoint and 
will be at compiletime converted to an 8bit character sequence depending on 
{$codepage} and stored in a cpstrnew with the codepage of {$codepage} if  
assigned to a cpstrnew variable?
And if the constant is assigned to a UnicodeString variable the Unicode 
codepoints are converted and stored to a utf-16 16bit character sequence at 
compiletime independent if they contain codepoints > 255?
Has somebody a link to Embarcadero documentation about the matter? I assume 
FPC trunk does exactly the same as Delphi XE3 with strings?

Thanks for your patience, Martin
