Hmm, maybe you have a point there. It is similar to normal RTL and RTL with CurrencyString:='Euro'. When I say "Euro RTL" it does not work correctly in all scenarios, but I'm sure some people think it does. I doubt that I can come up with a name, that everyone understands correct, but I have to call it something. What about "RTL with UTF8 as default"?
