No they are not. The string constants (lowercase, letters, etc.) only
feature ASCII characters. Some functions have "BUG: only works with
ASCII" attached to them. Many of the functions expect that the char[]
string consists of 8 bit characters.

Mango project (http://dsource.org/projects/mango) has functions with
better Unicode compatibility.
