On Windows UnicodeString is *not* an alias to WideString. There they are
two completely different types that happen to both handle string with a
element width of 2 and UTF-16

WideChar RTL
Note, that WinAPI says:
* A Windows code page version with the letter "A" used to indicate "ANSI"
* A Unicode version with the letter "W" used to indicate "wide".
so, it perfectly matches
I like WideChar RTL over Unicode RTL!!--

Naming something Unicode without adding any new Unicode feature can
hardly be called consistent.
As I wrote, the "Unicode" refers to String = UnicodeString. In that
sense it is 'consistent with existent terminology'
Yes, but

What about "Futura RTL"?
Short, catchy and...completely meaningless in this context :-D
Great

Hello,
I have just completed phase one of the "Unicode RTL" effort.
I object to the name "Unicode" RTL. Where people talk about what they call
"Unicode" they usually mean UCS-16 or UTF-16

Hi,
A "unicode" RTL is of course great for targeting legacy Windows platforms,
but for those of us on Linux, UTF-8 is the way.
It is not only for legacy windows platforms.
The target platform is secondary.
What to use depends more on your
