Re: Crash when pasting Unicode text from Firefox [patch]

I made a patch (revision 31766) using UTF-16 instead of UCS-2 as
default encoder.

UTF-16 is an extension of UCS-2 that allow the representation of code
points above U+FFFF. While UTF-16 and UCS-2 have the same
representation for Unicode points below U+FFFF, values above (like
U+10000) cannot be represented in UCS-2.
