The entire Windows API (file names too etc).

I found Apple's paper about localisation.

for localising the UI...

" Strings files need to be saved using Unicode (UTF16) encoding"

..and..

Here are the major Unicode encoding methods used in Mac OS X:

UTF-8
... In Mac OS X, UTF-8 is used for routines at the lower levels of the system (BSD, NetInfo, and so on).

UTF-16
... UTF-16 encoding is generally used at higher levels of the Mac OS X system.

Hi,
One small request. Windows uses 16 bit text (Unicode). ( 8-bit ASCII is also supported via thunking layers). I believe Linux uses 8-bit. 


a char* in windows is still 8 bit, right?  The APIs all expect a
wide-char, though - is that correct?


Would this be a good candidate for a "profile"?... 


I don't think this fits under profile so much as cross-platform-ness.


4.41. String Encoding. All strings in GMPI should be encoded unicode strings. The encoding must be decided by the implementation team.

Can I suggest "char" be replaced with "TCHAR" - type-of-char. Then we can compile either way. 


I was really hoping that we could avoid that by saying strings were UTF-8
encoded, but perhaps not.

Is it the case that all the Windows display routines expect wide-chars?
How about Mac?
