SystemCharSetIsUTF8 variable
Indicates whether the default system character is UTF-8 for the platform.
Declaration
SystemCharSetIsUTF8: Boolean = TrueDescription
The LCL interfaces expect UTF-8 as the default character encoding. If you do not use UTF-8, install a proper widestring manager and set this variable to False. The default value for the variable is True.
Used in the UTF8ToSystemCharSet routine. When set to False, the UTF8ToSys routine is called to transcode a native UTF-8 string value to the system character set.
