Not sure I follow you ?

If somewhere there is a warning about conversion of unicodestring to
ansistring (often abused as single-byte string) then this must be looked at and somehow
fixed.

This can mean changing the single-byte string type to UTF8String and doing a UTF8Decode/Encode.
Needs to be checked on a case-by case basis.
