Err, no.  Relaying unicode data between two disparate
C APIs requires being careful and thorough.  That means
paying attention to when conversions happen, byte ordering
(compile time) and boms (run time) and when the API
documentation isn't thorough, verifying the behaviour
yourself.  That requires a very clear understanding of
Unicode in order to do the requisite test cases, as well
as reading what the code does.
