Are? Only dlls/kernel/lcformat.c contain easily spotted UTF-8 sequences in a source file. It (in Julio César Gázquez's name) comes from the old ole/ole2nls.c. Alexandre moved some functions to their current location, and while copying over the authors names, UTF-8'd them (they were in Latin-9 before, also known as ISO-8859-1 (or 15)). I don't know if it was willingly or a side effect of his editor (the change is dated May 22, 2003).
Should we keep it as is (and convert the other parts to UTF-8 at the same time), or should we change it back?
We should change it back, the standard in our source files is iso-8859-1. Sure, UTF-8 may have been a better choice, but there's no real reason to change at this point.
