Inside FB, a char(1) character set UNICODE_FSS takes 3 bytes and the app 
has to figure out, which are valid. I totally lost (if I ever had) the 
overview, at which interfaces (let alone other added layers) this shows up=
 
and where it is already hidden. It's a major PITA. 

I have less time for FB than initially thought, so I fear I must refrain 
from hacking in the engine proper and hope anybody else cleans up the 
Unicode issues there. I'm still in the process of adding character set and=
 
collation support via fbintl, but even this has slowed down.
