Correction, this particular function does not depend on cwstrings.
When you say "this particular function" you are referring to the
UTF8Decode() function correct?
The documentation page for UTF8Decode has explicitly removed the
reference [that it requires a widestring manager] that was there before...
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/rtl/system/utf8decode.html
But, it does mention that it uses the low-level Utf8ToUnicode()
function. Now lets see that function's documentation.
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/rtl/system/utf8tounicode.html
And here it mentions that a widestring manager IS required for it to
function.
This is wrong, I will correct that.
Encoding/Decoding UTF-8 to/from UTF16 is just shuffling bits.
Michael.
