I suppose this might solve the constant assignment on the fly, but in fact I
feel that the compiler should generate a WideString constant at compile time
instead of calling a conversion function at run time.
Then you don't understand it yet, I think. If the compiler knows your
source file is UTF-8 (by BOM or directive), the compiler generates a
widestring constant and no conversion function is called when assigning to
a widestring.
However, if you assing this constant to an utf8string, the compiler does a
wide->ansi conversion, which is done according to the system code page, as
the compiler does not know the difference between an ansistring and an
utf8string. In this case you would need to utf8decode your
widestring constant to get in in your ansistring in UTF-8 encoding.
