Yes. Present and previous Delphi versions have no unicode support.

We cannot have a full cross-platform unicode support and still be 100%
delphi compatible.

If you attein to purely ascii software, we are still delphi
compatible. If you use other encodings, you will need to convert your
source code to utf-8, and as a bonus you win a consistent unicode
support.
