I meant a string type that changes it's encoding based on the platform
it is compiled for. UTF-16 under Windows, UTF-8 under others. The RTL
then uses that sinle string type throughout.

The Char type would be defined as String[4]  (max size in bytes of a
unicode codepoint)

Why? Can you give an example where IFDEF's would be required?
