All standard filesystems on Windows since Windows '95 / NT use UTF-16 (or
UCS-2) in the filesystem (NTFS, FAT32, VFAT), so Windows can express any
character expressed in utf-8 by simple recoding. On Windows '9X the usual way
to access them was using the ANSI set, but all Windows '9X versions and even
Windows 2000 are out of support now, so APR handles everything for us in
Unicode now.
There might be some issues if you use network shares; especially if the network
share is hosted on some NAS, because these systems sometimes use older
protocols and or filesystems which don't support unicode.
