I agree on the UCS-16 environment in Windows. Will post a patch for that so= on,=20 as I'm almost ready with one handling UCS-16 file system related stuff. It'= ll=20 be just a small addition to that patch. > OpenVPN is also used in embedded systems, such as dd-wrt.com and other. > So I guess I would like to see unicode=3Dtrue parameter on *NIX use > UTF-8, on Windows use UCS-2. Why would that be useful? Does it make a difference if scripts in a latin-1= =20 environment receive "j\C3\B6rn" or "j=C3=B6rn"? Both forms won't be recogni= zable=20 without additional effort, while being equally harmless.
