Thanks, but here's the problem. The wiki says FPC 3.0 is now Delphi 2009
string compatible. So I starting reading the "Delphi_and_Unicode.pdf"
white paper. I tried the first example shown on page 7 (code below):
The language feature is implemented in a Delphi 2009-compatible way
(although some Delphi-specific behaviour is only activated in {$mode
delphiunicode}). Not all RTL (let alone Lazarus, like for TMemo)
support is ready yet. You even explicitly added an example at
http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_Unicode_support#RTL_todos
So already it seems information is missing for FPC usage,
It's all documented on the wiki page you mention below.
or FPC clearly
isn't as "delphi compatible" as the wiki makes out to be. Or something
else went astray. This is exactly what I'm talking about. It clearly
doesn't "just work". I'll read the FPC_Unicode_support wiki from top to
bottom. Maybe that sheds some light.
It is the "white paper [or] blog post" you were asking about.
