Have you read Delphi's help on Unicode Characters? BTW, what's in
D5's help is almost the same as in D7. Delphi's VCL still uses single
byte characters, and Unicode is multiple bytes.

And, why do you want UNICODE_FSS? If you will only be using European
characters(i.e.: accents), then maybe you should look at the ISO8859
character sets.
