1) Is it correct that String <> AnsiString any more?

Only in {$mode delphiunicode} (which is what you should use if you want to compile code written for a Delphi version in which string=unicodestring).

2) If true, what is String an alias of? UnicodeString, WideString, something else?

The same as in Delphi: unicodestring.

4) What Unicode encoding is used? UTF-8 or UTF-16?

The same as in Delphi: utf-16

5) Is it only the compiler that has unicode string type support. Has anything been done or started in the RTL?

Nothing other than what's required for compiler support, and possibly some small extra's.
