Which is why you must love Open Source software. :-)
Another Object Pascal based GUI Framework has already done all the
work for us and they used a BSD license so we are free to use what we
need.

Have a look at the LPTK project on Source Forge. Two units called
schar16.pas and unitkeys.pas

It contains a lot of functions: Upper, Lower, Pos, Length, conversions
from UTF-8 to UTF-16 and vice versa, character translations for
Latin1-Latin4, Arabic, Kana, Hungarian, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Thai, etc...
 Lots we can use!
