This is for the container file, I agree... but INSIDE a quoted string thereis no need for this convention... and anyway IIRC even on windows a multiline editbox only gives \n

I think that it switched to the unix way. But I remember from somewhere that instead of using unicode normalization form C uses normalizatio form D, at least in some places (file names for sure): so an 'accented a' is encodedas a a single codepoint in form C (the accented letter) while in form D isthe plain letter A codepoint and the combining accent one. It's a relatively simple table driven algorithm to convert between them, anyway (a must for every utf-8 toolkit:P)...
