In a technical sense, Classpath doesn't -- it just leaves the
low-level representation of char to the VM.

AIUI, 1.5 has a lot of library updates to allow for 'int' codepoints
that lie outside the 16 bit range of a java 'char'.  For the most part
we have not implemented these APIs yet.  They don't look intrinsically
hard, just voluminous...
