If so, I would lean to > MBCS, because I prefer UTF-8... No, MBCS is not UTF-8. More or less precise definition of MBCS (multi- byte character set) is it is "NOT UTF-16" (not Unicode). In other words, my XP is set to use Russian for non-unicode applications, in this case MBCS will be Russian (Windows-1251, which is by the way is not multi-byte). It's technically possible to set up a Windows to use UTF-8 for non-unicode applications, in which case MBCS will be UTF-8. A Chinese version will use Chinese character set (which is multi-byte) for non-unicode applications.
Hope it helps a bit. -- Kirill.
