I think you misunderstood "Unicode's concept of conversion". Read the
actual text of the specification again carefully.
I have just added to my Unicode FAQ a new section
What issues are there to consider when converting encodings
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#conv
Please have a look and tell me whether it describes the issue and
solution accurately. If yes, show it to the developer of your favourite
code converter.
