Yes, it seems they want to use UTF-16 strings.

I’m confused why they can’t just switch their (nascent) language to UTF-8, and if so why the alarmist attitude? I didn’t think they were mature enough to claim no breaking changes, for example.

I probably prefer we drag the web (and .Net and Java) platforms towards UTF-8, to be honest… but maybe that’s just me.
