Why in some area the number of Chinese characters that can be inputted using Microsoft Windows Vista is less than that in other Windows platforms, such as Windows XP?

With the new character-coding standard adopted by Windows Vista, some Chinese characters occupy 4 bytes instead of 2 bytes. When these Chinese characters are inputted, the browser wrongly interprets a 4-byte character as two 2-byte characters. Hence, the number of characters that can be inputted is less than that in other Windows platforms.
