The Wikipedia article gives the history [1].

Deprecated when Microsoft implemented the "EnableHexNumpad" registry string
value and opened the entire Unicode for use moving MS Windows beyond
limitations of localized code pages.

Nothing biased against Windows, the project is cross platform and Unicode
centric with extensive ICU lib based handling rather than native Windows os/DE.

Our Unicode toggle (<Alt>+x) and Special Character dialog provide consistent UI
cross platform.
