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.

WOW, I can't get that Set Me.Picture = LoadResPicture("цветок", vbResBitmap) into my IDE. Here's what I get when trying to copy-paste:
LaVolpe, if you did, I'd sure like to know how.
EDIT1: I also tried several ways to make sure that the clipboard did, in fact, contain UTF-8, but I always got the same results when trying to paste into the VB6 IDE.
