MacOS Classic was using UniChar (16 bits) in Apple Type Services for Unicode
ATSU, TextEncoding ets, also in the 'then new' the file system HFSPlus it
was used

Cocoa is using the unichar type (also 16 bits) as unicode char base type

CoreFoundation services are using ICU internally now in OS X which is using
16 bit encoding internally, but we can of course convert to UTF8 and UTF32

at places where BSD is used, eg in files names, utf8 is used

Best,

Stefan
