I've got a couple of terminal emulators using WideChar and WideString for internal manipulation, what /should/ I be using? and where does it leave things like Sorokin's regex unit, which similarly use WideChar and WideString?
Depends on which libraries you use. AFAIK SBCS RegEx works for both Ansi and UTF-8 strings, so that an UTF-16 library is optional. For the terminal emulators I'd think that it's sufficient to introduce an internal string type that allows to switch between UTF-8 and UTF-16, so that the (different?) behaviour can be tested. When there exist differences, this indicates that the WideString emulators *only* handle Unicode BMP characters, not surrogate pairs, and you have to decide whether this restriction is okay for you.
