You reckon? I think that it was pretty farsighted. NTFS was designed in about 1992.For the pedantically-minded, I believe that NTFS is encoded in UCS-2, a fixed- length 16 bit subset of UTF-16. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16.
Originally, all Unicode Windows features and the NTFS file system used UCS-2 encoding. After Unicode 3.0 became available this has been upgraded. Windows 2000 and later support UTF-16.
