You are absolutely right.
But since Unicode is usable in Strings, a "normal programmer" is not
really allowed to "write an index" in pos(), delete(), and MyString[i].
To do this a decent understanding of Unicode is necessary (this has been
discussed at any length in multiple forums)
The only allowable thing is to use the "index" returned by "pos" in
copy() and friends on the same string. This works (mostly) as expected
for any encoding.
Well, the trick is not to leave that to chance.
I don't understand. When using Lazarus (if it stays similar to what it
is now) your strings will be UTF8. If pos() requires UTF16 you are out
of luck.
