Suppose that my app needs to read a file encoded with UTF-8. Suppose that my app runs on Windows, where the system codepage is most likely to be Windows ANSI. As RTL will use the system codepage, Windows ANSI doesn't support the full range of unicode chars and need to use RTL to read the file, what should i do to prevent data loss?
If by reading you mean read/readln, then you can use http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/settextcodepage.html to specify to the RTL what the encoding is of the text file you are reading.
In other cases, like LacaK said, you will have to read the data as plain bytes into e.g. a RawByteString and next use http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/setcodepage.html (with the last parameter set to "false") to afterwards specify the code page this data has.
