:-) :-) :-)

Especially because the big boss "Delphi" does not provide a really good 
model to go for. Delphi String handling is done with UTF16 (using other 
encoding results in bad performance and other problems) in mind and with 
no respect to portability at all.

And in spite of that there still are some soles that claim Unicode 
support is not a complicated thing :-(
