That's the reason why MSEgui stores DB strings as UnicodeString in 
tmsebufdatset and the other DB access components. Converting utf-8 -> 
utf-16 -> utf-8 once while receiving/sending the data over the wire is fast 
compared to the data transmission, "you will not notice the small 
difference". ;-)
The MSEgui list and tree components store stringdata as UnicodeString of 
course.
