Hi Adrian
Thanks a lot! After spending the day checking all sorts of things you saved my day :)
-> I just added the unit 'cwstring' and now it works.
Thanks & good day
Cheers,
Peter

Hi there
I am using PG 9.2 and 'pg_database' shows 'en_US.UTF-8'.
I have a text 'Piqué' but this is shown in my application as 'Piqu?' so
I was wondering where the problem is?
I am using Devart's 'PostgreSQL Data Access Components' to access PG
from FreePascal.
In my FreePascal code I do use AnsiStrings and I cast the database
results/text 'UTF8ToAnsi(...)'
Thanks for a hint!
Just guessing, but from FreePascal docs:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/utf8toansi.html
"
Description
Utf8ToAnsi converts an utf8-encode unicode string to an ansistring. It converts the string to a widestring and then converts the widestring to an ansistring.
For this function to work, a widestring manager must be installed.
"
Is there a widestring manager?

Cheers,
P.
