It's a very long time since I saw a box running win98, but I don't think it supports UTF-8 natively. I think there might have been an add-on pack for it that did, however, so that might be worth seeking out.

If UTF-8 is supported, then you don't need the code page at all, of course, but as noted above I don't think that win98 does... > Will my code Just Work (probably not)? 'fraid so, probably not...

Well, the Windows way was to use the MS API to convert your strings into the local MBCS (multi-byte characters) and use that to display your strings. The idea was that the winXX OS would know what the current "code page" (and so forth) were and perform the correct encoding to display your string. It pretty much works, but can be tricky to use...
