I am still confused how this CodePage aware stuff is expected to work and when

You are not the only one.

Yeah. In fact, we could set up several self-help groups of codepage victims ;-)

https://wiki.freepascal.org/Unicode_Support_in_Lazarus#Assign_string_literals_to_different_string_types is scaring.

All the doubts, questions, and discussions prove that current system is counter-intuitive and confusing. I'm sorry, I don't want to bash, but code pages system must be revised almost from scratch, even breaking compatibility. It is a heavy lodge that FPC is carrying. The longer it takes to get rid of it, the worse.
