Gianni> Use UTF-8 !
Some problems with this:
1. What if the UTF-8 is not normalized to a form expected by Unicode
support on my platform?
I would have to convert UTF-8 to UCS2 anyway to make sure all
characters are fully decomposed or fully composed, depending on what
my Unicode support expects! Otherwise, the search pattern will
probably not match cases that it should match.
2. What if the data only comes in UCS-2 form?
