Description

While discussing with ethan and glenn.sarti about the recent bugs surrounding Unicode support (~~PUP-5726~~, ~~PUP-5728~~, ~~FACT-1341~~) it was decided that more research needed to be done around internationalization on Windows.

Questions that need research:

How does language packs vs. native Windows localized builds differ?
If we change the default external encoding for Ruby calls what does that affect?
How can we best test Unicode support for Windows.
