I’ve had a few people ask me lately about resources for getting up to speed on Unicode in Delphi. I’ve sent the same set of links a few times, so I thought I should also share them here:
- Pawel shared some links back mid-last year, including a three parter that Nick wrote on the topic.
- Cary Jensen wrote a White Paper titled Delphi Unicode Migration for Mere Mortals: Stories and Advice from the Front Lines
- Marco Cantù also allowed us to publish an extract from his Delphi 2009 Handbook on Delphi and Unicode.
- Update : Note also the additional links in the comments from Jeroen and Dr Bob.

In addition to those, the answers to these StackOverflow questions also contain a nice nice list of links:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1399395/how-do-the-new-string-types-work-in-delphi-2009-2010
Then there is this CodeRage 4 session I did:
