I set no special options in FPC and I don't use WideString at all. UTF-8 fits perfectly in the standard String type. That's why I don't understand all the discussion around FPC and Unicode. Why can't we just choose an encoding (for example UTF-8) and use it internally in FPC. Why must FPC support native UTF-16, UTF-8, ANSI etc.... UTF-8 manages backward compatibility perfectly!
