@TimSweeneyEpic What are the chances of trying to move UE towards UTF-8 by default?Converting to UTF-16 at the platform layer when required.

I like the idea but am not sure it would be worth the conversion pain. In retrospect, UTF-16 was a terrible decision for the OS and apps!

Yeah this came up because I am sick of TEXT() everywhere. The platform abstraction layer should take care of that when needed. :(

But yeah the conversion would be a pain, maybe if you guys decide to break compatibility in a big way at some point (UE5 or something)

I curse these UTF16isms too. We'd definitely do this if major operating systems exposed UTF8 APIs.
