    Wide characters in Windows 2K and XP are used for UTF-16 for most
    programs that I know of including the Microsoft Office suite and OS
    programs such as NotePad and WordPad. Windows 9x has limited Unicode
    support, but many programs do use wide characters for UTF-16 on Windows
    9x as well.

    Hi,

    I am new member of this mailing list. I have browse the web extensivly
    to find out if "Wide characters in Windows(9x, 2k, XP) is subset of
    UTF16 in Linux without difference in endianness".

    I have tried almost 100 sites till now on this topic out which best one
    is following
    http://www.google.co.in/search?q=cache:9C4Hm-SUytAJ:developer.r-project.
    org/Encodings_and_R.html+windows+wide+characters+ucs2&hl=en

    Thanking you in advance for your help.

    regards,
    Abhishek
