I looked through the sources of RTL and I think I won't do any changes
to add unicode
because it will involve a lot of work and I have also looked in MSDN
about console, it's more natural to use ANSI codepages than unicode
because UNICODE in win32 needs special functions, e.g. WriteConsole
instead of WriteFile ...

So unicode support under WinNT is the task of a specific app.
