Your question was not about Lazarus but maybe you should read this:

Very interesting, but apparently there is some wrong info.
It says "On Linux and Mac OS X UTF-8 is typically the system codepage, so the
RTL uses
here by default CP_UTF8."
Not on my Mac. DefaultSystemCodePage is 20127 before I set it to 65001.
Should I fix this bit on the documentation page?
No. It says 'typically'.
That's the first part of the sentence.
The second part says: "the RTL uses here by default CP_UTF8."
That is wrong. It does not (at least not on Mac). This must be fixed.
Why do you think it is wrong ?
It is perhaps wrong on your computer. Maybe it checks the environment ?
Did you include clocale ? etc. There are maybe a 100 things that can change
this.
Don't be too hasty in changing things.
Jonas (who created that page) is usually very careful in such matters.
