Unicode support throughout EphPod?

I recently made the mistake of setting up my ipod through a network from 
my desktop to my laptop (hoping that EphPod would be able to work fine 
thinking the iPod was actually attached to the system even though it was 
really a network drive).  To make a long story short (details below), 
EphPod didn't like that very much at all and killed my iTunesDB (no 
error, seemed like it saved fine but when I went to reopen my iPod

Now, I went and tried to rebuild my DB using the "iPod Tools" -> 
"Rebuild DB from iPod" and all of my Unicode info is gone, with just 
question marks in place of the Unicode characters (this is what I 
usually see in programs that don't support Unicode).  I had previously 
changed all those songs by hand using Ctrl+I with the "Save to ID3 Tag 
of MP3 Also" checked and I assumed that was writing Unicode ID3 tag info 
to the files (the quick-edit keys don't work for Unicode.. at least for 
me.  When I tried using them, they completely ruined those mp3s... the 
iPod would just skip past them when trying to play them).

So really, after all that explanation, my question is (probably for 
Joe): is EphPod now 100% Unicode-based?  Or are there some features that 
are Unicode (Ctrl+I) and some that are not (Rebuild DB from iPod) and 
possible some that are buggy (the quick-edit keys?)?

And now the details of what not to do (at least this is what happened to 
me... seems logically like it should work, but it doesn't)...

(all under Win2k) I set up the iPod as a new path on my desktop, under 
Z:\iPod (along with my usual drive letter, V... but I use Z:\ as a 
central point for shares).  I then connected to Z:\iPod with my laptop 
and used "SUBST V: Z:\iPod" which turns Z:\iPod into V:, allowing my 
laptop to see V: as a new, network drive.  Then used EphPod, selecting 
V: as the drive for my iPod.  All of my songs showed up, I went to edit 
a few things, saved and closed.  Reopened it again in a few minutes and 
everything was gone.  Oh well.
