Of course you can use UTF-16. Just convert your UTF-16 strings to UTF-8 before transmission, using wstringToString(). In fact, you can use any string encoding, as long as you have a converter for this encoding to and from UTF-8.

Regarding string constants: You could use excape sequences to express UTF-8 strings in Slice. I admit that this is not very convenient, but on the other hand, string constants in Slice are used very rarely.
