So should I just use UTF-8 only for Linux? What about other operating systems? I suppose Unix-based OSs (maybe MacOS as well if I'm lucky) work the same as well. But what about Windows? Unfortunately I have to support this OS too with my library so I should know. If you know and you can tell me of course...
https://utf8everywhere.org/ - this is an advise from a windows programmer, I use it too. Windows allocates a per thread buffer and when you call, say, WriteConsoleA, it first transcodes the string to UTF-16 in the buffer and calls WriteConsoleW, you would do something like that.
