   We did that, but I cannot show the code - its a part of a commercial
program.

   I don't know of any. And, btw, what is "unicode support"? Before
starting to implement "unicode support" we have to understand, what it
is.
   What are your use cases? In what encoding you are going to store
strings in the db? Should there be an attribute "encoding" on a column?
a table? a database? a db connection?
