Type UTF8String only converts encoding automatically when assigning values. There is no code to identify codepoints. The LazUtils Masks iterates codepoints, although in a very slow way. Has anybody tested FPMasks with multibyte-codepoints? I guess it may not work correctly. BTW, the UTF8String change is not in FPC 3.0.4 which we still must support. Even if FPC libs get new code that can be used in Lazarus, It takes many years before we can use it due to the slow release cycle. I hope FPC 3.2.2 comes out soon. Juha
