- String = UnicodeString, Char=WideChar

UnicodeString ? ? I don't know what that is supposed to be. We have UCS-2, UCS-4, UTF-16 and UTF-8 Some marketing people, not understanding anything about computers, talk about "Unicode" to mean "UTF-16-treated-as-UCS-2".

For me, UTF-16 is the dumbest thing ever invented in computing. So I shiver at the thought of a "Unicode" RTL.

We really should use UTF-8, as most open source projects do.
