I don't think this layer should be restricted to Unicode encodings.
It occurs to me that perhaps it is not unreasonable after all to restrict the library to supporting Unicode encodings for in-memory character representation. It would, I think, still be necessary to support all of the Unicode encodings, though, since it would be important that these facilities can be used efficiently with existing libraries that depend on particular encodings, like UTF-8 and UTF-16.
