Please note that at every Borland conference there is someone asking for

Not only for Delphi ;-)
There are several

utf-8 is a unicode string. What do you mean with not escaped
Unicode? Memory wasting utf-32?
I'd see UCS2/UCS4 as not escaped Unicode.
Exactly.
I think that UCS2 will suffice to everyone not interested in Vogon poetry! ;))
This means to have 2 byte chars and related strings, all string

UCS-2 or UTF-16 how it called by the unicode consortium is escaped as
well and you've to take care of it in your code.
mmh, no.
UCS-2 is different from utf-16 (which is escaped), but you cannot represent
all utf characters (see the case of Vogon poetry).

nope. UCS originally wasn't escaped, but they changed that recently
Could you point me to a official document?
In the Unicode site I don't find anything.
Anyway with escaping UCS2 when UCS2 definition is utf-16 without encoding?

This discussion has inspired me to think a little more about what should
be done in this specfic context, and I think the attached patch should
do it. It is a more drastic patch than the previous one, and I don't
have any widestring test material, but it passes some simple tests. I
have copied

but I had some files from Delphi or Kylix that
were otherwise unreadable.

I am showing my ignorance of multi byte characater handling here, but
I think it would be to write an escaped sequence as is currently done
for wide strings. I don't think the current OutChars function is quite
up to it, as utf8 characters can be 32
