It is explained here:

For LacaK I recommend using UTF-8 encoding as much as possible. Then
everything "*just works*".
You could have a unit or .inc file with WinCP constants for Delphi7, and
then some IFDEFs. They should be explicitly converted to UTF-8 for LCL.
UnicodeString constants can also be a good solution. It triggers an
automatic conversion when assigned to a String variable. The conversion is
usually fast enough.
