As far as I know, you don't need any tricks to work with unicode

Again, I didn't have time to follow FPC 3.x development much, and I was too
confused with all the Unicode changes.
With FPC 3.0.x, can you now load text files from disk using TStringList and
specify the encoding of the file at load time?
Something like:
sl.LoadFromFile('some_utf8_file.txt', CP_UTF8);
sl.LoadFromFile('some_utf16_file.txt', CP_UTF16);
sl.LoadFromFile('some_latin1_file.txt', CP_Latin1);
Not yet. These are the exceptions I was talking about.
But the FileOpen, Assign,Reset, Write of plain pascal
do work with both Unicode and plain strings.
To fix the classes issues properly, we need a unicode RTL
and a ANSI RTL if we wish to remain backwards compatible:
The Strings[] property can have only 1 type.
