TProcessUTF8

TProcessUTF8 is a non-visual component on the System tab of the Component Palette and is a version of the TProcess component that accepts UTF-8 Unicode characters - normal TProcess uses ANSI/ASCII characters.

TProcessUTF8 is part of Lazarus (introduced in the development version which will end up as Lazarus 1.4 in future) in the UTF8Process unit; it can be used from command-line programs by setting a requirement to LCLBase

Example

See the TProcess examples in Executing External Programs; however, you should pass UTF8 strings instead of ASCII/ANSI strings.
