I'm still confused about what kind of Unicode Aaron is talking about. liblouis itself uses either UTF-16 or UTF-32 depending on how it is compiled. it does not recognize a letter followed by the accent Unicode value, although this could be handled with a translation table. liblouisutdml requires UTF-8.
