That was just a horrible backward-compatibility hack for the sake of those
platforms (*cough* Java, Windows NT *cough*) that embraced Unicode as
their native encoding just a little too soon.

Aren't all of the Unix and Linux boxen either UTF-16 or UTF-32 ?

 Most certainly not:
 $ echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
 Haven't seen anything but UTF-8 in a long time.

Come over here to Windows.  UTF-16 is the name of the game.  It is a total pain.
Microsoft is rumored to be working on a UTF-8 API for Win32 / Win64.  I will believe it when I see it.
