LauUtf8 unit sets (amongst others) some WideStringManager methods.

FPCAdds unit sets DefaultSystemCodePage to CP_UTF8:

{$ifdef UTF8_RTL}
initialization
  SetMultiByteConversionCodePage(CP_UTF8);
  // SetMultiByteFileSystemCodePage(CP_UTF8); not needed, this is the
default under Windows
  SetMultiByteRTLFileSystemCodePage(CP_UTF8);
{$IFEND}
