Lazarus can continue to use UTF-8.

Just there will be an implicit conversion when using those functions. The
overhead is minimum.
Currently UTF8String is just an alias for AnsiString, i.e., the
implicit conversion UTF8String ->  WideString does ansi ->  utf-16
conversion.

Will UTF8String be a separate type recognizable by the compiler and
UTF8String ->  WideString will do utf8 ->  utf-16 conversion?

AFAIK, yes
