+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.
