I don't think, full UTF-16 really would be desirable desirable over UC-2.
Imagine you have a string of some million characters (e.g. a Book). All
functions that need to find the n-th character (like x[n], copy, ...)
would take forever, as they need to scan the complete string (if not
The encoding can be important for speed:
For example the widestring xml parser is up to 10 times slower than
the ansistring xml parser.
That obviously is the reason why Turbo - Delphi uses UCS-2 (16 bit)
instead of OF UTF-8 or UTF-16 for WideStrings (and WideChar is a 16 bit
(UCS-2)
s[i]:='x' doesn't work in UTF-8, nor UTF-16, nor UTF-32.
It would work, but it would need an implementation that moves the tail
of the string around and thus would be really slow.

You didn't read http://www.jacobthurman.com/?p=30 , did you?
They are talking about Delphi 2009, of which I don't have any

I agree, it would be nice to suppress that hint! It's quite pointless,
99% of the time.
I have seen some code like the following, to suppress that hint, but

are you sure they are using UCS2 and not some 16bit codepages? That

Not really.
I checked the unicodes 0x0100 and 0x0101 (capital and lower case A
