Unicode resourcestring

Please share me your wisdom.

UTF8 <> UTF16

@KodeZwerg
It was just an example against your wrong statement
"Unicode is Unicode, nothing more nothing less."

What else is Unicode when not Unicode?

UTF8 <> UTF16

Since you do not use words to answer a normal question but character encoding standards, I have absolute no Idea why you quoted me at all.
That answer makes no sense and my statement is still the same.
Unicode is Unicode, nothing more nothing less - period.
( but I am still open to be convinced by something different  )

Excuse me moderators for this kinda offtopic argue.

Unicode string means generally UTF-16. UTF-16 could be Le or Be.

And FPC always uses the endianess of the target, so it makes no sense to talk about UTF-16BE vs. UTF-16LE in the general sense in the context of FPC.

Some people speaks, wrong, Unicode string for UTF-8. Please, use the exact denomination... 

We are on a FPC/Lazarus forum here, so I can assume that the users know when I write “UnicodeString” that I mean UnicodeString which in turn means UTF-16 (no matter if BE or LE) and not “Unicode string” which might mean any string with a Unicode encoding.

It is the other way around. MS uses unicode 16 (based on UCS) and the rest of the world uses UTF8.

Qt uses UTF-16, JavaScript uses UTF-16, Java uses UTF-16. And on non-Windows wchar_t is even four Byte and thus uses UTF-32.
