UTF-16 would imply being capable of handling characters outside the BMP, 
although not as many as UTF-8 (if that will ever matter). 

I haven't tried this though. Maybe you could mail me a couple of plane 2

on font's to use. Of course it could handle UTF-16 to some extent without
being able to display it.
