No no, a string with unicode characters is interpreted by the

interpret your source code as Unicode.
The issue might be the UCS-2 encoding of your source, perhaps try
to feed the compiler UTF-8, I didn't even know the compiler accepts
UCS-2, it may not work correctly.
Maybe you pinpointed the cause of the constant assigning issue I see
here. There is no selectable option in Lazarus to use UCS-2 coded
source files, it seems to be set to utf-8 on default and I never
changed it. Nonetheless my source file is stored as clean UTF-2
including correct BOM. So maybe the compiler is fooled by Lazarus in
some way.
As has been said before: the compiler itself simply does not support
UCS-2. Regardless of any BOM, compiler setting or Lazarus setting, it
will not understand it.
