Igor work on this issue.

We already have include ICU library into 2.0 engine,
And change a lots of code to support internally UTF16.

ICU self can do conversions.

So all we will have to do, (in the worse case),
Just add this additional flags/encodings to
    maybe server protocol,
    fields
    ...

And I think right now we can fix mentioned problem in Vserver alpha,
So it will work not worse of LOCAL SDKs.
