Right you are. For me WideString is UCS2 and not UTF16, as I regard
it as a sequence of WideChar so that the Unicode user code can be
done using WideChar and WideString. WideChar only has 16 Bits. So
this restrict us to Unicode Characters < $FFFF.
I doubt that I ever will need to use Unicode Characters > $FFFF, but
of course there _are_ other projects.
I doubt that you will never need to support decomposed characters
(such as ä being encoded as basically "a¨"). It's not that uncommon.
