Windows Explorer is Unicode 3.0 compliant on the NT line (I have several 
files that use a mixture of English, Japanese, and Chinese in the 
filename and various description fields), and the 9x line can be made 
partially Unicode-aware.  I don't think the em hyphen is a valid 
character on any Windows or ISO codepage (other than the Unicode project 
mirror standard (I want to say it's ISO-11350, but I'm fairly certain 
that's not right)).
