The compiler itself can only convert from utf-8 and several ISO

widestring

text
editor as Felipe mentioned.
Becuase i use this unit in Delphi 7 and Lazarus with my local
language.
What for -Fm<x> parameters?
Those tell the compiler that your source has been stored in that
particular code page, and then the compiler will convert all string
constants *from* the specified code page *to* widestring (which then
at run time is converted back to the active ANSI code page; not to
UTF-8).
If you want to do that, you have to wrap all your string constants
with utf8encode(). That takes a widestring as parameter and returns an
UTF-8 string. However, that is not Delphi-compatible either.
In the long term, native utf8string support will solve your problem,
but right now what you want is not possible afaik.
