Remember, the question was about making sources compatible with Delphi.
The person (Marcos Douglas) did not know details of how strings work
in Delphi and Lazarus.
Now we finally have a system that allows (more or less) compatible
code when using Unicode. Why was it not even mentioned by you guys?
For example:

Nonsense. Full Unicode is supported.
Not if you need pre-unicode Delphi support :)
(Well, Marcos didn't specify what Delphi version he wants to target but
he stated "If Delphi sources don't use UTF8 [...]", which applies to
pre-unicode Delphi versions.)
