Hello,

could you please tell me, which coding-type is used in the components (clx?) for handling unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32)?

Maybe you can also tell me, how multibyte strings are converted to unicode with the components.

Thank you very much,
Mipe

The Delphi CLX version uses UTF8 to store the unicode strings and under CLX there are all strings - unicode.
I cann't say for sure how is performed the conversion from multi-byte to unicode in Delphi, but I guess that the conversion is made using user active code page (system locale).
