The following source code uses UTF8 with BOM
http://www.conoce3000.com/Ejemplo02.pp
the compiler compiles ok and the program displays the message in
Unicode UTF8 with question marks.
How can I tell the compiler to ignore the BOM?
You cannot. Your first program will however only work on terminals
that are configured to accept UTF-8 output. The correct way is to
a) use the second program (or add {$codepage utf8} at the top of the
first one)
b) add "uses cwstring;" so that a widestring manager is available,
which will convert the strings (which are parsed into widestrings) to
the current session's code page.
