Use UTF-8 in NFD form. A protocol for handling the gaiji problem
(characters not encoded by whatever system your application uses) will
have to be developed anyway, and you can use that to handle all the
problems Eli brings up that have to do with "what Mule code can do
that Unicode can't". There are other problems of ambiguity in Unicode
itself (see Unicode TR#31), but since Mule code can (at least
theoretically) represent all Unicode code points, Mule code has them
too.
