Why is UTF-8 disabled in the compilation?
Most systems are using UTF-8... and many issues may be related to this.
E.g. #8

Windows is not one of the 'most systems'. I have been aware of the experimental UTF-8 support since Windows 10, but it also suffers from compatibility issues (for example Windows Console still speaks UCS2 instead of UTF-16). There isn't much we can do.
