Actually I think that Carbon uses a system very similar to the one
proposed by Florian. The string is an opaque type, which can be in any
encoding. All string routines uses this opaque type and if you wish to
get the string contents in a certain encoding you use a routine for
that.

But Carbon is not cross-platform.

A very similar system is used in Cocoa, but the string is a class there.
