All this is because they consider UTF-8 to be "not invented here" and are
trying to change everything to use UTF-16 at the expense of backwards
compatibility and standards rather than just changing their default system
codepage to UTF-8 as everyone else (GNU/Linux, OS X etc.) did (and yes,
they do have support for variable-length system codepages already, the
Asian versions use that, they just don't want to use it for UTF-8).
