That's what I meant. Those bytes will be interpreted consistently across
all locales.

Yes, and AFAIK, the wide API is the default. The other one only exists
to support programs that don't support the wide API (generally, such
programs were intended to be used on older platforms that lack that API).

Okay then. As I stated, this has nothing to do with the OS since
programs are free to interpret bytes any way they like.
