Come ON! That is just common sense *of course* we are talking about the
delivered binary !!!!! Who cares what the format of the readable source is -
you are just being pedantic

Just to make sure:

- It is wrong (or at least very confusing) to call UTF-16 "double-byte"
Even if technically the utf-16 code points take two bytes,
traditionally the term "double-byte" is used for code character
sets that use one or two bytes per character (basically
Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese and Korean)
I am not arguing if that use is correct or not, just that is the
consacrated lingo, so using "double-byte" when talking about
utf-16 is really confusing

- RC files cannot be UTF-8
