"String (which is different from DefaultSystemCodePage according to the
wiki) is depending on the arch/OS the compiler is built for. (I only tested
on Linux and here it rather obviously is UTF8. I assume on Windows it's
UTF16 for Delphi compatibility).

The code pages that are relevant here are only single byte code pages (e.g.
CP1252) or UTF-8, *never* UTF-16 as a AnsiString can not store UTF-16 data.

And the DefaultSystemCodePage is determined upon startup from the system.
