No -- at least that's not how I understand it.

Valentina will *store* them as 10 characters on the disk, because the 
StorageEncoding = UTF8, so you lose nothing.

But when it needs to access the data for some manipulation in memory 
(search, sort, etc.) it will convert the data to UTF-16 (20 bytes) 
first -- this is transparent to you.
