For the record: this happens because text encoding problems was solved by broad adoption of not Unicode but by localized Windows 9x. Windows NT and apps on it to this day uses whichever encoding used by equivalent ancient regional versions of Windows 95 for language/region it booted in, e.g. cp1252/ISO-8859-1 for American English and cp932/Shift_JIS for Japanese.
True unification into Unicode only happened during the mobile shift in the form of iOS/Android.
