plus afaict it does not handle unicode.
Is Unicode the same as UTF-8?
Yep, or more accurately UTF-8 is 1 of the 5 possible storage formats for Unicode.

Unicode is a 16 bit character list
Not quite, that is UTF-16(LE or BE), and that is 2 of the other possible storage formats for Unicode (the remaining ones being UTF-32BE/LE).
(Actually, GB18030 might also technically be Unicode, and maybe things like SCSU and BOCU1, but I digress.) You are quite right in that routines to convert UTF8/16/32 exist.

From WEE-52 Release notes: Version 0.50 - Set codepage to UTF-8 (thanks Irv)
Good to know. By "afaict" I intended to stress the "dozen-plus-versions-out-of-date" side.
