Microsoft did the hard work of supporting Unicode when UTF-8 didn't exist (and mostly when UTF-16 didn't exist). Any system that continued with only ASCII well into the 2000s could mostly just jump into UTF-8 without issue. Doing nothing for non-English users for almost two decades turned out to be a solid plan long term. Microsoft certainly didn't have that option. |
