[Github-comments] [geany] Use multi-byte variant of CreateProcess on Windows (#809)

Naw my bad, it's "ANSI" (code pages) for "A" not specifically "ASCII".

It works if it was ASCII, it just replaces all characters >= 127 with a question mark (arbitrary replacement character). The code really makes no sense for non ASCII, so I think it would be best to just drop those non-wide code paths.

When I get some time I'll try to put together a proper PR instead of hijacking this one :)
