Let me clarify: one does not think in "writing text in Unicode"-terms in PDF. Instead, one records the sequence of "character codes" which correspond to "glyphs" or the glyph IDs directly. That's because one Unicode character may have more than one glyph and more characters can be shown as one glyph.
