I already showed how in a previous post. For more details on how fpGUI
does this, have a look at the fpg_base.pas and fpg_stringutils.pas
units in the fpGUI repository.

  TfpgChar        = type string[4];

The maximum size any UTF-8 code point can be.  Basically a character
is treated just like a string - only a small string.

My problem is not the implementation, but the fact that I can't read
or understand any right-to-left languages. :)
