Even though Text and Caption properties are listed as being AnsiString, you 
can assign WideString values to them as well, since the implementation of 
the AnsiString type isn't limited to single byte encodings.  Unfortunately, 
I haven't been able to find a way to make them actually display correctly 
when given Unicode values higher than 0x00FF.  The implementation of the 
display doesn't seem to have been done correctly.

There are, however, third-party component libraries available to take up the 
slack.  The one I've heard about the most often (though I haven't used it 
myself) is TNT.

From the looks of it, you simply replace your TLabel's with TTntLabel's, 
TEdit's with TTntEdit's, etc. and then you can use Unicode values and have 
them display correctly, while keeping the ease-of-use of the VCL.
