Chris, My understanding is that 6.3 is capable of supporting uni-code at the database level. 6.3 server is not uni-code compliant. Thus the need for 2 servers pointing to the same AR System instance.
7.0 server is uni-code compliant but seems that there was a bug in the 7.0 upgrade. A patch to correct the uni-code issue is supposed to be released next month. We are looking at using Chinese and Japanese with our Western European characters but we're holding off until the 7.0.1 patch is released before we upgrade from 6.3. I understand that there is also a potential issue if someone with a Chinese WUT would modify a record that was created with Japanese characters. Because of the all the interactions we're observing and moving slowly.
