That was my first idea, yes. Normalizing to utf and get read of whatever trouble might lie on the way. Then I read on the MBlib docs that japanase chars may take up to 6 byte each, and that would hardly fit into a utf-16 format. Again, all my worries are probably based on the sole fact that I never treated chinese/korean/japanese text in my life so I easily get deceived in my elaboration. Thanks a lot for starting the subject.
