That is not 100% true.  It is called WideCharToMultiByte and not
WideCharToAnsi for a reason.  It is possible to convert from unicode to UTF8
instead of converting to ANSI, and that will preserve the characters.
Though it may need to be converted back to unicode to display it on Win9x,
for example.
