There is no difference between ansistring and string in {$mode
delphi} and {$mode objfpc}.
You obviously missed that the new AnsiString type has an encoding, with
implicit conversions when strings of different codepages are passed to
subroutines or stored in variables. An AnsiString on one machine may
have a different encoding on a machine with a different user locale.
When a string contains UTF-8, its encoding must be set to UTF-8 as well,
otherwise implicit conversions will result in garbage - as observed by
the OP.
Nevertheless Jonas' statement is correct, because (currently) String =
AnsiString and thus they are the same (and both can currently use code
pages).
