Then... use Unicode internally in your software.... regardless you use
UTF-8 or UCS2 as the data type in the interface, eventually some code
need to convert it to UCS2 for most of the processing. Unless you use
UCS2 internally, you need to pay for the performance, either inside the
library our in your own code.
