Lets just say that
UTF-16 is at best implementation details of Firefox.

Well, JavaScript is notably UTF-16.  Given that the Web, Java and .NET
(i.e. all the most important platforms) are all UTF-16 it's likely to
be with us for quite a while, so it's important to understand.
Yes i only wanted say that. For example i work in c# and i would like create glib libraries and use it in .net, but the "char" in mono/.NET is utf16 and therefore i have there the same overhead.

The solution are 2:

1.- conversion using glib ():
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.19/glib-Unicode-Manipulation.html#gunichar2
.-2. automatic NET conversion in the p/invoke side.

The 2 solutions have the same overhead.

But yeah, there's no way POSIX/GNOME etc. could switch even if it made
sense to do so (which it clearly doesn't).
Yes, i only talked about the overhead with utf8 outside of glib, only that.
Perhaps the only solution is add more suport to utf16 in glib with more methods.
