Yes, that was basically it. Though I had only thought as far as simple encodings like ASCII, where one byte corresponds to one character. I wonder if you really need UTF-8 support. Are the encoding values currently encountered for Windows consoles all single-byte encodings or are they more complicated?
Windows supports Chinese, Japanese, and Korean encodings (code pages 936, 932, 949) that are multi-byte with one or two bytes per character. I'm not sure how that affects this though or what your point about not needing UTF-8 is.
