Hi G,
Some of the underlying Windows APIs we work with directly use UTF-16 strings, however this isn't the only reason we made this decision. We felt it was better on Windows to always present UTF-16 strings so developers don't have to do many conversions themselves.
We are always looking for feedback. Have you found this to be a pain or are there locations where you want to get a UTF-8 string on Windows but are unable to and need to make a conversion yourself?
Thanks,
Steve
