Unless a VB6 service pack patched it to support UTF-8, I don't think it could be supported.
I always think/thought of UTF-16 (and its UCS-2 subset where the characters are always two-bytes) as the way Microsoft did things, and that UTF-8 was the way the rest of the world did things. In fact, it's my understanding that escaped URLs are basically escaped UTF-8. And yeah, they were both around prior to VB6.

Therefore, since Microsoft has always been on the UTF-16 side of the fence, yeah, the VB6 IDE handling UTF-8 makes no sense to me.
