[fpc-devel] utf8 in 2.6.0

[Jy V]

> For Lazarus:
> - works with fpc 2.6.x and 2.7.1
> - LCL and most code expect ansistrings to hold UTF-8.
> - pascal sources, lfm, po files are stored in UTF-8 without BOM.
>   Special care has to be taken, when using widestrings/unicodestring.
> - there are UTF-8 functions and classes (most in package lazutils).
> - the IDE supports many encodings
> - all this is documented via wiki and fpdoc
> - no support for UTF-16 has been started
