Right now sqlite database files are portable across systems as-is. You're proposing they should need to be explicitly prepared for transport? Remember, the risk is silent data corruption. This is not a trivial matter.
Well, I do understand that Unicode standard is quite a complicated thing, but we got a little farther in the discussion than I originally intended. My problem isn't that I'd like to transport SQLite database between platforms, let's stay for example with Windows - as I already wrote, if I create a database where I want to fully support Unicode strings (including correct sorting), I have to define some custom collation. This results in the fact that I can't open (or edit) the database in any other DB application across Windows, because they don't know the collation I defined. So, in fact, Unicode SQLite databases aren't portable even within a single platform!
