Description

The entire code base assumes UTF-8. To support UTF-16, we simply need to transcode (easy!).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where UTF 8 input is assumed, add a transcoding step from UTF 16 to UTF 8 using standard C++ libraries (e.g., std::wstring convert or std::codecvt).
