I'm not sure, what you mean. The LCL expects UTF-8 strings, so does synedit and all other IDE controls. When the IDE opens a text file (e.g. unit1.pas) it checks if it is UTF-8. Many Delphi sources are encoded in a windows code page. If it is not UTF-8 then it must be converted. And when the IDE saves a file to disk, it must convert it back to the original encoding. > > The IDE now (svn 14904) tries to find out the encoding of a source > > file and converts it to UTF-8 on loading and back on saving.
