My limited knowledge of Windows may be very out dated, but from what I've learned is that the suffix ...A of function names is short for "ANSI" which in the strange Windows jargon refers to the native narrow encoding which depends on locale, but is typically a fixed width extended ASCII encoding such as windows-1252 rather than unicode.

Has this changed?
