Phil, I don't see all this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16

"
Major operating system usage
UTF-16 is the native internal representation of text in the Microsoft 
Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows CE, Qualcomm BREW, and 
Symbian operating systems; the Java and .NET bytecode environments; Mac 
OS X's Cocoa and Core Foundation frameworks; and the Qt cross-platform 
graphical widget toolkit.
"

I agree with David, but Windows (and Java) programmers have to live with 
this encoding...
