+Summary: ANSI strings are UTF-8 but should be in native encoding
+
+In Microsoft .NET Framework ANSI code page is the non-Unicode code page 
+of the operating system and Unicode code page is UTF-16. This is a very 
+Windows based view of code pages. Encoding.Default uses the ANSI code 
+page as well.
+
+In Mono ANSI code page is UTF-8 and Unicode code page is UTF-16. 
+Encoding.Default however is a code page based on environment variables or 
+other system settings.
+
+I think the code page used for Encoding.Default would be more proper for 
+interop ANSI strings as well because that is based on the system settings 
+and is probably in use on system that may differ from UTF-8.
