Partly related to issue
21817: "FileUtil.CopyFile" would failed to work with Unicode Characters
filename.
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=21817
My tests failed when I copied the file name directly to source editor.
They succeeded when I used a FileNameEdit to select the file name.
Why does it happen?
NTFS and FAT works in a very wrong way. They have code pages for the
filename. so if you are using an Arabic filename for example, you must
first know if you are using code page for Arabic (and there is more
then one for Arabic afaik), or does it use UTF-8 or UTF-16 afaik.
I don't know about FAT, but NTFS stores filenames as UTF-16 (or UCS-2 at
least) and thus does not need any code pages.

Sven
