Btw: using UTF-8 by default on MS-Windows is not a very good idea,
even with Windows 11 where one can enable UTF-8 support (did they do
it, btw?). Windows still doesn't support UTF-8 well, even after the
improvements in Windows 11, so the above settings might very well
cause trouble. Suggest to ask the user to try the same recipe in
"emacs -Q", and if the zh_CN.UTF-8 stuff is set up outside Emacs, to
try without it.
