IMHO, Windows has a history of patching up locale support. They have at least System/User/UI default locales. That said, 1) System locale is the locale of the OS that affects all users/non-Unicode ANSI applications. You can set it in the ControlPanel->Regional Settings->Administrative->"Change System Locale" button. 2) There is a check box that reads "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support". This enables ANSI applications to use UTF-8 for wide char <-> multibyte conversion. So in a nutshell, these combinations of settings end up in many unexpected situations.
