I think it's pretty clear that UTF-8 is the direction that most
environments are heading to, if they aren't there already.
- Solaris 7 and higher use UTF-8 for the local (Unicode) interfaces
- Windows 2000 and CE use Unicode and UTF-8
- MacOS 9 (or X?) and higher same
- etc... don't discount the Linux i8n efforts either, it is an extreme
likelihood at the very least if not a statement of direction
End-user apps that support UTF-8 include Office 2000 and of course most of
the modern web/mail front-ends
