Hmm, my impression has always been the other way round: With gcc you can use all sorts of locales and character encodings as you like. While with MS you are bound to some single system locale, you cannot even convert to UTF8 and interoperability with other systems is really hard.

Before saying that you cannot (easily) convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 on windows, you should have done your research: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd374130(v=vs.85).as... See the CP_UTF8 (CodePage). Since Vista, it is even Unicode 4.1 compliant and in any case, this function has been available since Windows 2000. Michael Goldshteyn
