That's what I thought. So why did they [FPC team] actually bother to
create the UTF8String type then?
It's an alias for literal programming purposes.
While I disagree on much of his wording I so agree with the OP, that
with having ANSIString and UTF8String an alias for exactly the same -
only to allow for keeping in mind what coding the user manually
introduces - is very confusing. These names strongly suggest that a
statement myANSIString := MYUTF8String either is detected as illegal or
forces appropriate conversion.
