This is true of course,

But does that really suggest taking the effort to support other Unicode variants ?

The conversion is done only when entering and exiting the OS / GUI framework calls. I understand this does not happen too often.

Of course it is really nice to provide support for any Unicode encoding, but I don't think it does not harm to use UTF-16 as a default.
