"Unicode Support:
Windows 2000 Professional uses Unicode=AE version 2.1 as its base character
encoding. Unicode is an international standard representing the characters
in common use in the world=92s major languages. Unicode allows unambiguous,
plain-text representation of data, which simplifies data sharing in a
mixed-platform environment."

Using UTF-8. Even its text editor (Notepad) is UTF-8 capable.
