Windows is indeed a problem.  I don't know enough about it to know whether the 
above statement outlines the problem but Windows in general is terrifically 
difficult to troubleshoot characterset problems in.  There are too many 
combinations of user's preferred code-page, application's code-page, keyboard 
set and thereby the characters the keyboard generates, and control panel 
settings for language.

By all means discuss this problem, do testing in the SQLite command-line tool, 
do testing using text files you can hexdump, and other things.  But please 
don't say "Windows acts like this." because what you really mean is "My version 
of Windows acts like this with this App and such-and-such settings.".  If at 
all possible use some other OS which has fewer interacting settings relating to 
characterset.
