Conversions in your testproject may work, but you ignored the forum link I gave earlier. There "malcome" gave examples that fail.
I don't ignored it, but I'm not so fast to test the examples there. I'll try the examples there for myself with and without the codepage definition. Thanks for that link.

BTW, the hack is not made by LCL but by LazUtils which can be used also with cmd line / server programs.
You are right. I only use LazUtils in combination with the component library, my mistake. Thanks for clearing this.

I also don't want it. I want a added {$codepage UTF8}, if the file is saved as a UTF-8 encoded one.
The cases fail with UTF-8 file encoding.
I don't understand this.

The issue with constant string encodings is more complex than you seem
to understand.
Thats true and I've made dozens of tests and spend a lot of time and try to help other people with it ...

It is explained here somehow:
   http://wiki.freepascal.org/Better_Unicode_Support_in_Lazarus#String_Literals
And the first example there is wrong (or the words "and without" need to be removed). With no defined codepage
const s: string = 'äöü';
has codepoints of a UTF-8 String, the codepage is 0. If you assign it to a string with a declared codepage, you get a corrupted string. See my example.


BTW I've forgotten ShortStrings in my example and maybe PChar. I'll add it (if possible) and try and report later.

Thanks for your attention and time

Kindly regards
