IUp's unique selling point never was to be yet another low code tool to create applications for Windows. There are enough out there. Its USP was portability. I'd rather look into supporting Android and iOS via IUp. This kills those 3%. Others research pointet out that UTF-8 is usually the better thing internally. IUp wraps Windows with a compatibility layer anyway, doesn't it? Why should leak low level encoding information to the application layer?
