<div>>> For what else should I use UTF8delete if not for UTF8strings?<br/>
>For "UTF8 strings".<br/>
>An "UTF8String" and an "UTF8 String" are two different things for the<br/>
>compiler. See below.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What is the difference? The link does not tell me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As fas as I know, there is no (useful) usage of LazUTF8-Routines</div>
<div>with strings of other encodings than UTF8.<br/>
So why is it used?</div>
<div>And was not the addition of encodings to strings</div>
<div>introduced to overcome all this encoding hassle?<br/>
So the FCL should be able to use a different encoding than the LazUTF8-Routines.<br/>
It makes no sence to use the LazUTF8-Routines for strings other than UTF8Strings.</div>
<div>Who would do this? The outcome would be an invalid UTF8String.</div>
<div>Therefore, whenever I use LazUTF8-Routines I would always</div>
<div>have an UTF8String to be manipulated and I am forced to do</div>
<div>conversions in any case anyway.</div>
