This should just be 8-bit data with no conversion.
try const Vec:AnsiString=#$94#$6D;
I've now documented this change at
http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_Trunk#Short.2FAnsistring_typed_constants_containing_widechars.2Funicodechars
from the page:
{$codepage utf8}
const
s1: shortstring = 'éà';
s2: ansistring = #$094#$06D;
s3: ansistring = #267#543;
In case of s2, s3 it's a do-able conversion, since the numeric values are
already known.
But with s1 that could potentially be much much more work, and also very
inconvenient for writing new code.
I would not know all the ordinal values from the top of my head, and if the
string was long, it would mean to look up dozens of uni-codes.
It would be nice if there was(maybe there is) some way, of telling the compiler
that the string is to be treaded as binary-data. Maybe like:
{$codepage utf8}
const
{$codepage binary} // temporary change
s1: shortstring = 'éà';
{$codepage utf8} // back to original
s2: ansistring = #$094#$06D;
s3: ansistring = #267#543;
