If there's only a single encoding recognised, UTF-8 surely should be the one (though perhaps Windows users might disagree, iirc, Windows uses UCS2 as standard encoding).

Windows APIs use UTF-16, but the encoding of files (which is the relevant point here) is almost uniformly UTF-8 - though of course you can find legacy apps making other choices. Cheers, Max
