Of course characters should be UCS-2 ints   (One could make
an argument for UCS-4, which is what glibc does, but for Java
UCS-2 currently makes more sense.  The difference is whether
surrogate characters are treated as two or one characters.
I don't think it matters much.)

But input buffers should I think be UTF-8.
