To render a Widestring you have to use the TextoutW API function (or

one of the other text output functions the API offers, like ExtTextoutW
or DrawTextW. The TCanvas methods map to the A (ansi) versions of the
API functions, so they would not interpret a Widestring forced down
their throat correctly.
