or work with large amount of 8-bit strings.
Why would you want to? Unicode supports all languages,
Maybe there is a misunderstanding. Let me rephrase my question:
What string do you use in Linux Delphi when working with UTF-8 strings?
Embarcadero realized they made a mistake when they disabled (yes, only
disabled not removed) 8-byte strings from NEXTGEN compilers. UTF8String
and RawByteString are back for all NEXTGEN compilers since 10.1. You can
use them in Linux Delphi as well.
