Hi,

I am reading this: http://wiki.freepascal.org/XML_Tutorial It seems quite old (2005?) I wonder if the status quo is still same, especially that the FCL units still does not support UTF8 encoding?

Thanks,
Shannon

They are UTF16, but can (and generally will) write utf8 afaik.

The FCL units can read and write UTF-8 encoded files and uses UTF-16 strings in memory.
The laz2_* units use UTF-8 strings in memory.
