I said that the ansistring example is obvious, not the encodings,
which indeed are a gotcha. For the encodings I only said that it would
be too much duplication. It is better to document this issues once in
1 single place. And we already have a large documentation about all of
this. Just read here:

About FindFirst, you should know that there is FindFirstUTF8:
