What are the default CJK encodings for Windows?

I am trying to understand CJK encodings, on which I am definitely not an
expert.

If someone using a Japanese version of Windows types some Japanese text in
Notepad (with or without HTML markup) and saves it, what encoding will be
used?

Similarly, what would be the default encoding for Simplified Chinese,
Traditional Chinese and Korean versions of Windows?

I have tried searching the Web with Google, and searching Microsoft's site,
but I cannot find this information. Please can anyone tell me the answer,
or tell me where to look?

Thank you
