I think we may be OK, most of the nls_*.c charset files return 1 byte length for
uni2char and char2uni translation/mapping/encoding and that is probably
correct for that charset, do not know enough about all the charsets.
There are some charset files such as nls_cp932.c and nls_cp936.c which
return 2 bytes as character length sometimes, so looks like for a charset,
uni2char and char2uni functions return appropriate (character
width/length) values.
