When DefaultSystemCodePage is CP_ACP the variable S will have the
content of UTF8 but the encoding will be ACP (in my case 1252), just
like is today.
With DefaultSystemCodePage as CP_UTF8 both content and code page will match
The Delphi (and FPC) encoding model allows for strings of different
static (declared) and dynamic (true content) encoding, see the special
handling of RawByteString (Wiki).
So far it's not a good idea to simply *assume* that a string variable
contains bytes of the declared encoding. In detail one should check or
force the right dynamic encoding of every string variable, before
searching for specific bytes (chars) in it.
I'm missing documentation for working safely (and efficiently) with such
irregular strings, most probably none of the FPC (and Delphi) developers
ever noticed how users are left alone with this problem :-(
