Re: [idn] UNIX moving to UTF-8

Again, the native character set of Windows 2000 is UCS-2, not UTF-8. There are
a few applications that partially support UTF-8, notably Internet Explorer and
Outlook Express, but that's only in some places, and only because a developer
made a conscious decision to offer that support. Run-of-the-mill Windows APIs
do not support UTF-8 and will not reliably pass it without damage.
