Message:
Do you mean Unicode?  or UCS2?  ID3v2 doesn't support Unicode - only UCS-2.

UCS-2 is only 64K characters -- it is not the same as UTF-16 which is
variable length like UTF-8...

Does LAME do encoding for the planes above Basic plane 1?   Unicode uses up
to plane 17 but has blank planes below this -- but this does mean that
anything supporting unicode Can't be UCS2 compatible, which means id3V2 is
OUT for unicode compatiblity -- unless you are fudging the standard.

Only in id3v2.4 is Unicode compatibility added, adding support for
UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, and UTF-8.  Generally, for most western songs, UTF-8
takes half the encoding length, but can take up to 5 bytes.  UTF-16 encodes
up to plane 17 in 2-4 bytes.

Hello !

I use ID3v2 tag and yes .... i use --idv2-ucs2 switch. For example:

LAME.EXE -b 320 --cbr -m s --noreplaygain -q 0 InputFile.wav OutputFile.mp3
--tt "Name" --ta "Artist" --id3v2-only --id3v2-ucs2

But if enter croatian characters in Name or Artist converted to same
characters with dijalects. š->s, Š->S etc etc ....

Message:
Did you look at ID3v1 or ID3v2 tags?

The old ID3v1 tags are specified to be in ISO 8859-1 encoding, so Croatian
characters aren't in it.
For ID3v2 tags in none unicode it is the same as above. To store your tags
as unicode strings, add --id3v2-ucs2 as your first command line paramter.
