Hi Wan-Hi,

I don't know about UTF-8, but if they claim to support Unicode and the
API says it accepts wchar_t, that means UTF-16 should work.

Regarding endianness, the string class should be able to figure that
out and deal with it correctly due to the byte-order mark, which ID3v2
requires all UTF-16 strings to start with.

Just try it and see what happens. :-)
