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?
