Jim, I have no direct experience with CORBA myself, but I suspect that
to make it work, you will have to pass UTF-8 text around and convert it
to the 16-bit form only when it is destined for the user interface.
That way you won't need to change the types, just the logic, if you do
any string processing that is.
I doubt many applications will be 16-bit clean for quite some time to
come.
