We would first have to check if our resource compiler supports Unicode.

Also just take a look at the RC files in reactos/dll/win32/comdlg32. They
are all saved with Latin 1 encoding, even the ones in eastern languages such
as russian and chinese.
We imported them from Wine and it looks like there are no problems using
them.
I assume, this is done by using code pages.

I agree, that UTF-16 is probably the best solution for these problems, but
as long as there might be problems with the resource compiler, we shouldn't
change everything to UTF-16 now.
