I'm not sure what you mean with "the Lazarus UTF8String".
There is UTF8String = type AnsiString(CP_UTF8) defined in system.pp.
Under Linux and OS X any LCL application gets
DefaultSystemCodePage:=CP_UTF8, so all strings without an encoding are
treated as CP_UTF8, which means encoded as UTF8String.
Maybe Paul can explain the details for MS Windows.
This does not change the fact that the -Fcutf8 and {$codepage utf8}
have some drawbacks.
