Use the TextOutW API function. It is identical to TextOut, except that
it accepts a PWideChar string rather than a PChar string. Pass
TForm.Canvas.Handle as the hDC parameter.

Note that the form's canvas is not persistent, so you should use
TextOutW in the form's OnPaint event, to ensure that it is called as
often as necessary.
