command line parsing on windows and the right encoding

Hi.

Reading this blogpost.
,---- [ https://nullprogram.com/blog/2022/02/18/ ]
| The aged Emacs implementation is written in C rather than Lisp, steeped in 
history with
|  vestigial wrong turns. Emacs still only calls the “narrow” CreateProcessA 
despite having
|  every affordance to do otherwise, and uses the wrong encoding at that. A 
personal source of
|  headaches.
`----

There is a couple of doubts:
1. Should emacs replace CreateProcessA with CreateProcessW?
2. How Could the emacs-windows port have the right encoding when parsing
command line arguments?

Best Regards
