As always, the problem is the transition from systems that don't fully support native UTF-8 and new ones, and all the appcompat fun that goes with it. The work is being done to make the OS fully UTF-8 native, but getting the ecosystem able to use it is the real challenge.

The primary focus of my blog post idea here is what's captured in this document: http://utf8everywhere.org/ with some additional notes on modern Windows and Xbox platforms.

As of Windows Version 1903 (18362) or later, games can opt-in to the active code page as UTF-8:
