Much of the last (utf-8) paragraph is babble. One does not require utf8 support from the OS when there is utf16 support, since the conversions between utf8 and utf16 are very simple and mechanical and do not require last tables (like other unicode functionality) 88.159.79.148 (talk) 17:39, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

fopen("string",...) does not work and cannot open all possible files, due to the fact that utf-8 conversion is not done. This is a violation of the Posix and C-99 standard. Windows is broken, stop trying to claim otherwise. Yes you can work around it by converting the strings to UTF-16 and using Windows-specific api, but it is broken in that their standard c library does not do this.Spitzak (talk) 02:15, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
