I don't think so. What would a code page be used for with UTF-16.
UTF-16 itself is already an encoding, implictly stating one and only
one code page, if it can be named a code page.

Delphi's UnicodeString supports holding strings with arbitrary encodings (not
just UTF-16), alon
Hi
What I have understood so far:
WideString uses UTF16 encoding. It is managed by Windows and so is not
reference counted by Delphi or FPC under Windows. However it is reference
counted by FPC on other platforms.
Then FPC has UnicodeString which is identical with WideString except that it
is alw
