Without {$codepage utf8} directive String constants will get Code Page 0
(CP_ACP) and not the 1200 (UTF16 - UnicodeString).

String variables assigned to those constants will also have Code Page = 0

This is because the constant string code page is evaluated at compile time

Not sure if there's a compiler command line param with same effect as
{$codepage utf8}

The attached program show how data loss can occur
