In MSDN perhaps, but not in MSVC. :-) This doesn't really work as 
advertised for UTF-8, you saw it for yourself.

Actually, I can remember, somewhat foggy indeed, seeing the GetThreadCP 
(or GetThreadACP) somewhere, but I have never used it and the docs 
doesn't seem to mention it either. In fact, the function is not 
declared, neither in my platform SDK nor in the DDK. Where did you get 
that one from?
