Yes. There is no locale under Windows that uses UTF-8 as its encoding, 
and there never will be. (As Raymond Chen mentions from time to time, 
the narrow version of the WinAPI cannot, in general, handle UTF-8.) 
Since we also don't accept encodings that aren't a superset of ASCII, 
UTF-16 or UTF-32 can't be used either. This leaves Windows users without 
the option of using Unicode encodings.
