Unicode

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Peter.  If that's the case, I'm not seeing much in the way of a
coding advantage over pre 7.0.  Sounds like using textEncode/textDecode
instaed of uniencode/unidecode?

That does answer another question I had though which is what is needed if
the database is UTF-16 encoded.  Sounds like nothing needs to be done.  I
guess I'll have to set up some tests.
