Right! To clarify, Unicode is the character set, and UTF8 and UTF16 are
ways of representing that characters set in 8-bit and 16-bit segments,
respectively. PostgreSQL only suports UTF8, and Win32 only supports
UTF16 in the operating system. And 0x00 is not a valid value in any of
those, that I know of, but perhaps it is in UTF16.
