You might want to vote for enhancement 2825 that adds UTF-16BE and  
UTF-16LE to the uniEncode and uniDecode options.  This would allow  
you to store your favorite, say UTF-16BE, in your properties and then  
convert to host-order UTF-16 for unicodeText.  This might be a bit  
faster than storing UTF-8 in the property and then converting.
