1) I remember we have isSingleByte() string

2) no, as I see no.

    FBL::String class - is balance between powerful ICU String class
    and limited string class for Vclient.

3) I_Localizable do have IOEncoding and SotrageEncoding properties


---------
When you start to work with DB, on default all is UTF16.

You can change IOEncoding to be UTF8 for example, for the whole db, or some
tables/fields.

While you are in UTF16 you will use

    pvalue->put_String( UChar*)

If you are on UTF8 or other single byte encoding, you will use

    pvalue->put_String( char* )


I.e. You make contract with Valentina db, after this you should follow to
your promise.
