All human readable strings are unicode, well soon they will be message ids, 
since human readable strings must always be translatable.

All inputs (Web browser data, ...) is converted immediately to unicode, so the 
user never gets non-unicode strings. 

A few objects do some additional checks for unicode, but this is often not 
necessary.
