No, it works very well with Windows when following the simple rules
mentioned in the wiki page.
Console is the only real issue with its own console codepage. I still
don't fully understand its logic and I remember giving false
information sometime earlier about it.

Anyway, if you write GUI apps and call WinAPI, things "just work".
