Yet another myth.... But if you are such a UTF-16 (actually UCS-2 as
that is what MSEgui supports) fan, why isn't MSEgui source code stored
in UTF-16 encoding either? ;-) There is good reason why UTF-8 is so
popular. And by the way, a UTF-8 codepoint is only 1-4 bytes in size.

Anyway, this message thread is not about a UTF-16 vs UTF-8 pissing
match, it is about FPC boasting good all-round Unicode support in the
most efficient manner on all supported platforms.
