I'm not convinced this is correct for this case. GetProcAddress takes an "ANSI" string, meaning while it could theoretically use UTF-8, in practice I doubt it uses anything outside of ASCII safely. So while the name of the library would be encoded in UTF-16, the name of the function loaded from the library would not be. Yes you are right: http://scintilla.org/NarrowName.png Neil

That screenshot seems to show UTF-8 is being used. This may just be the literal bytes in the .c file, but could it be something more dependable?
