I've tried to set Charset to RUSSIAN_CHARSET, without any luck. The characters are still replaced with question marks. This happens already when I get the xml text from an xml node into a WideString. The WideString is already with question marks. It seems that Delphi doesn't really support unicode with WideStrings. Because when I do the exact same thing in C# and .Net (using the msxml4) the characters come out ok. To me it seems as if the delphi compiler between the lines converts the widestring given from the xml node into a ansistring, and then converts this ansistring into a WideString, or something like that... Any ideas?

Maybe you convert the WideString into AnsiString during viewing?

I've tried to set Charset to RUSSIAN_CHARSET, without any luck. You must convert the Widestring to the correct Codepage bevor assigning it to the VCL-Control: This function form Jedi Code Library (JclUnicode.pas) will help: function WideStringToStringEx(const WS: WideString; CodePage: Word): string; var InputLength, OutputLength: Integer; begin InputLength := Length(WS); OutputLength := WideCharToMultiByte(CodePage, 0, PWideChar(WS), InputLength, nil, 0, nil, nil); SetLength(Result, OutputLength); WideCharToMultiByte(CodePage, 0, PWideChar(WS), InputLength, PChar(Result), OutputLength, nil, nil); end; The characters are still replaced with question marks. This happens already when I get the xml text from an xml node into a WideString. The WideString is already with question marks. The Delphi-IDE doesn't support widestrings. So if you want to watch a widestring with some special characters, you have to do followin: Ord(MyWideString[PositionToInspect]) if "63" -> Widestring has a converted string in it if > 127 -> Widestring is ok. No Codepage-Conversion is done. It seems that Delphi doesn't really support unicode with WideStrings. It does. But Delphi-IDE doesn't. We have ported our application to unicode with only some problems (most of them where Windows-Bugs) ans support unicode from Win95-2003. Because when I do the exact same thing in C# and .Net (using the msxml4) the characters come out ok. To me it seems as if the delphi compiler between the lines converts the widestring given from the xml node into a ansistring, and then converts this ansistring into a WideString, or something like that... This conversion is only done if you assign a widestring to a string or a string to a widestring. The conversion is done with the current codepage.
