No, you can use all the Unicode freely. The source files are saved as UTF-8 by default. Delphi does the same, this detail is also compatible. >> For Delphi compatible generics you can use FPC trunk and the Generics >> Collection lib made by Maciej. > > Is it part of FPC?

Instead of create a constant, is it better create a > String variable and assign the string to it? From FPC's point of view our UTF-8 solution is a hack. In practice it means that success in assigning string literals depends on the string type. This: S := 'Have 🍷 for FPC 💓 Lazarus'; always works if "S" is a "String". It may not work with other string types. It is all explained in the wiki page. When all your string data is Unicode then you can code in a Delphi compatible way. Only the Windows system codepages impose a problem, but I got an impression you don't need them now.
