Can I offer the attached patch for reading utf8 strings from resource files? It simply converts the utf string to a normal string by discarding the high bits,



What would be the correct solution?


I am showing my ignorance of multi byte characater handling here, but I think it would be to write an escaped sequence as is currently done for wide strings. I don't think the current OutChars function is quite up to it, as utf8 characters can be 32 bits?

As a bit of background information as to why some work may ve necessary, the problem I had was with a copyright character in a string property, which some version of Delphi had decided to write out as utf8.
