As Michael wrote the locale specific constants will become UnicodeChar (2

No. A codepoint is a 32-bit number. UTF8 and 16 encode these in shorter
space only.
A character is one more codepoints. (usually a main codepoint, and
codepoints for accents)
Thanks for clarifying the terms. I hope I remember them till the next
Unicode discussion :P
Still it might not be a bad idea to make such things a string instead of a
character in time.
Might need adjustment inside the corresponding routines though as they
might expect to only work with one Ansi-/UnicodeChar.
