Portability of Unicode code !?

Hi everybody,

This is a desperate appeal for all you souls to help
me out with a problem I face. I have a unicode server
which handles database files. Now I assumed that
unicode is 16bit data (is that too bad an assumption
!?)
Anyway, it so happens that while On NT and AIX wchar_t
does translate to a 16 bit value, things are very much
different on SunOs and HPUX !! There wchar_t is
defined
as long and int respectively ! And now I am stuck with

a lot of code and database files. Has anybody faced
this
problem before ? Is there any input someone can give
me
regarding porting unicode enabled code ?

Can I work around this by geting a third party unicode
library from somewhere and linking my code to it
rather
than the system libraries on these platforms ?

Any help/input on this would be extremely valuable.

Thank you,
Nitin
