Comment (by 166291@…):

 Sorry for the bump or whatever, but I do find this behaviour really
 peculiar. Reading the link I find it seems to agree with get_system_locale
 being UTF-8 by default rather than ANSI:

 "So if the default operating system Locale is "English_USA.1252" the
 default locale for Boost.Locale on Windows would be "en_US.UTF-8"."

 Should get_system_locale not return the UTF-8 version if Boost.Locale is
 going to use it?
