I’m doing a project for anwsering questionnaires. The user creates the project with the questions on Delphi, than exports the project in a .txt file to Android, where the file is read and the user can answer. My problem is in characters like á,à,É,Ú, that appear like a ? in Android, with the code 65533. So, I need to know how to configure Android and Delphi to work in the same charset.

    Use Unicode. UTF-16 or UTF-8 should work fine.

    See Davids answer for an explanation why this should work and how to do it in D2009 and newer.

    For Delphi 2007 and older you have to use another solution, UTF8Encode + Ansi TStringList can be used, you can also convert your strings to WideStrings and use WideStrings.

    To write UTF-8 using D2007 and older see this question:

    How can a text file be converted from ANSI to UTF-8 with Delphi 7?

    To write UTF-16 using D2007 you can use the WideStrings unit which contains a TWideStringList. Beware that this class doesn’t write the BOM by default.

    There are also other WideStringList implementations for older Delphi versions out there.
