The first table is useless. If you don't tell the compiler what the code page is of the source file, it's normal that you will get issues all over the place. The second table looks more worrying. Where are the bug reports for the cases where it fails? I would have to look at them more in detail to find the causes, but at first sight it indicates several implementation bugs. > All the doubts, questions, and discussions prove that current system is > counter-intuitive and confusing. The issue in this thread is caused by a bug in the LCL: it blindly assumes that the dynamic code page of the caption string is always utf-8. That is simply wrong (unless you put the burden on the user to always assign an utf-8-encoded string to it, but _that_ is counter-intuitive and confusing).
