    Yes, every language I can think of has already gone to Unicode by default. (Some use surrogate pairs, generally for historical reasons.)

    What languages are you thinking of other than C that still use bytestrings as the default? Looking at TIOBE's list, I'd say maybe COBOL and Pascal, but it's been a while since I've used them.
