It does not require a widestring manager.
The documentation says otherwise:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/utf8encode.html
"For this function to work, a widestring manager must be installed."
See for example the Lazarus lazutf8 unit.
AFAIK there are no UTF16 functions either.
Lazarus provides a lazutf16 unit too.
Is there a reason for those to be in Lazarus only? Can they be moved to FPC?
FPC is preparing for a complete unicode solution, with proper language support.
At best, these units are a temporary solution.
Michael.
