WideString -> AnsiString -> WideString in Delphi/FPC?

[cronodragon]

I'm playing around with Unicode support for my applications. Found these functions to convert between string formats:

It uses WideCharToMultiByte(). My first doubt is what Code Page should I use that gives the most compatibility? And also, how does FPC manages WideStrings? Does it make automatic conversion? :?

Thanks!

Unless I'm mistaken, I thought that FPC had "WideCharToString" and vice versa. I don't know how you would change between WideChar and WideString though. You could always use "WideCharToStringLen" to explicitly name the length.
