No, again wrong. Or is it more like this:

1.
a) locale = ISO8859-1
    backend-1 = LATIN1

b) locale = UTF-8
    backend-2 = Unicode

'A' = U+0041 (does windows use big-endian?)

Win UCS-2: U+0041
ODBC UTF-8: U+41
backend-1 stores = U+41
backend-2 stores = U+0041

2.
'Ä' = U+00C4 (german A-Umlaut)

Win UCS-2: U+00C4
ODBC UTF-8: U+C384
backend-1 stores = 0xC4
backend-2 stores = U+00C4


Did I get that right?
