Hi Raiki Excellent work on getting up to speed on the rust front-end. From my perspective I am interested to see what the wider GCC community thinks about using https://www.gnu.org/software/libunistring/ library within GCC instead of rolling our own, this means it will be another dependency on GCC.
The other option is there is already code in the other front-ends to do this so in the worst case it should be possible to extract something out of them and possibly make this a shared piece of functionality which we can mentor you through.
