As for whether "accordingly" still applies, by the logic of of win32_langinfo()... Windows still considers WIN1252 to be the default ANSI code page for "en-US", though it'd work with UTF-8 too. I'm not sure what to make of that. The goal here was to give Windows users good defaults, but WIN1252 is probably not what most people actually want. Hmph.
Still, WIN1252 is not the wrong answer for what we are asking. Even if you enable UTF-8 support [1], the system will use the current default Windows ANSI code page (ACP) for the locale and UTF-8 for the code page.
