Hello, my application uses the AnsiString type to store UTF-8 data. That was totally fine. Now in FPC 3, automatic conversions cause data loss. I get question marks replacing Chinese characters, for example.
I do not fully understand at which points these conversions are done. The FPC 3 Unicode documentation says something about "passing it to a RTL routine". What about this code: var a,b:Ansistring; begin a:=Utf8Encode(AWideString); b:=Copy(a,1,10); end; Is "Copy" an RTL routine? Is this OK or not? Best for me would be to be able to turn the conversions off completely. Is that possible?
