I think Frediano is referring to the fact that UCS-2 and UTF-16 overlap
but differ.
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#ucsutf
If unichar data are actually encoded in UTF-16, they may theoretically
include characters off the Basic Multilingual Plane. Such characters are
encoded in UTF-16 as two 16-bit "surrogate" characters, which obviously
shouldn't be interpreted as two UCS-2 characters.
The question is, can the server actually deliver/accept non-BMP
characters? If not, we can pretend we're dealing with UCS-2 data. Else
we have to do it right, to do it right. ;-)
