Actually, it all depends on the character encoding being used.  If you're 
using the OEM Charset then it depends on the DOS codepage in play.

Oh... and Microsoft doesn't use the standard Unicode sets either.  They've 
got their own, which are supersets of the Latin pages.  For example, 
there's the pesky windows-1252 charset.  Ugh.
