It happened again. The word "Unicode" was mentioned and the result is an endless debate of how it should be done. Now > 100 messages and counting ...
I personally don't care much what the default encoding will be, but I wonder how easy it will be to use UTF-8 for my employer's code. The situation with FPC will be better than with Delphi because FPC does not convert automatically to default encoding ALWAYS. It only converts when the conversion is needed. For example TStringList can be used for UTF8Strings and it does not trigger automatic conversion. Isn't it so? Please correct me if I still got it wrong. It means UTF-8 with FPC will be easier than UTF-8 with Delphi, even if UTF-16 was the default.
