You don't need LazUTF8 anymore with recent FPC versions. FPC has 
everything built-in. (I don't like Lazarus dependencies in console 
applications.)

Set these 3 CodePages to CP_UTF8:
   SetMultiByteConversionCodePage(CP_UTF8);
   SetMultiByteRTLFileSystemCodePage(CP_UTF8);
   SetMultiByteFileSystemCodePage(CP_UTF8);

and you are good to go.
