I think that you can say "all C libraries".

Would it possible to convert the encoded string to bytes just before call Gtk? 
(job done by some Python internals, not as an explicit conversion)

I don't know if it would help the discussion, but Java uses its own modified 
UTF-8 encoding:
 * NUL byte is encoded as 0xc0 0x80 instead of 0x00
 * Java doesn't support unicode > 0xFFFF (bouuuuh!)
