I did some tests with different Delphi versions, with and without

know a solution for all problems regarding strings and unicode.
Good luck :-)
But let me thing it out, write tests, write code and test if it works
indeed.
Just an idea:
First decision is made by the DB layouter, to use fixed-size fields or
blobs for strings. Then a fixed DB field size imposes another limit on
the maximum character count, depending on the encoding. Chinese users
would be happier with a *word* count, or about 4 bytes per visual *glyph*.
With blobs any limit is questionable, at least it should strictly denote
the number of visual characters - maybe Unicode codepoints?
