danielf -- I think you are tangled in your confused terminology. UTF-8 _is a form of Unicode_. So when you say "I think there are too few cases when an activity gets translated strings and needs to work directly with unicode", it is... well, wrong for any software that will be used internationally. Perhaps you mean something else, like the "Python type Unicode". But in general discussion, people do use Unicode to mean...
