On Win7 (Lazarus trunk, fpc 3.0 32-bit) at least for unicode characters inside my codepage GetEnvironmentVariableUTF8 retruns correct string, encoded as UTF8, however StringCodePage is CP_ACP. Not sure it this matters at all for your usecase, but GetAppConfigDir returns a variable in UTF8 encoding where StringCodePage is CP_UTF8. Example with set zeljko=äëï Result of StringCodePage in sqaure brackets: GetEnvironmentVariableUtf8: zeljko = $C3 $A4 $C3 $AB $C3 $AF [0] GetEnvironmentVariable with UnicodeString: zeljko = $00E4 $00EB $00EF [1200] UTF16ToUTF8 on result of previous line: zeljko = $C3 $A4 $C3 $AB $C3 $AF [65001] GetAppConfigDirUtf8: .... [65001] As a workaround you may try to use the Unicode variant of GetEnvironmentVariable and convert it to Utf8 with UTF16ToUtf8(). The resulting string (on my system) then has stringCodePage = CP_UTF8 again.
