So you don't have to use the LCL for that. In fact you don't have to use LazUtils: some users simply copied the two units FPCAdds and LazUTF8. It's all open source. Second I find it funny that the statement comes from you - a notorious promoter of software on forums/lists of competing projects. And third setting the DefaultSystemCodePage is a good start, but not enough. Instead of explaining all the gory details, Juha promoted a more complete solution for UTF-8. This is useful for many users. They don't have to reinvent the wheel.
