Hi, This question really applies for all Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32). In the modern world you simply can't use indexed access into Object Pascal strings to retrieve a "character" (loosely what you see on the screen - ignoring combining diacritics). In my own projects I have custom written Iterators for various data types like StringList, ObjectLists etc, and that includes strings. I know FPC RTL supports the Iterator concept (not as advanced as what I have implemented), but still useful. As far as I know there are some standard iterator classes already implemented. Does FPC include such iterators for the various string types?
Simply said: No. The character iterator var C : Char; S : String; // or unicode string begin for c in S do end. Will iterate bytes or words, not characters.
