what I wanted to point out is that developers often do not understand/implement conversions (in the right place). Especially linux moved very slowly towards UTF and it's still causing problems.

My apeal is for a general solution - or I simply wanted to say watch out.
Especially gnome (I can not argue for the recent versions) had poor support in conversion, resulting very often in double converting char data.

any way this was just a note. if the thing you are working on is using exerces (the reason for utf-16) you should call internal functions to get strings formatted for your current machine.
