Windows is a horrible environment for UTF8 unless MS provides a special locale for it.
At present state, you can choose to use utf8 internally in your app, but when you need to cooperate with other programs (over sockets or files), it's going to be confusing. Some will be sending you ANSI bytes and you take it as UTF8.
