8-bit strings can be used to represent Unicode just fine. Better,
in fact, than the 16-bit wide characters found in some places, since
they support encoding up to 31 bits per character and don't have
byte order issues. And for places where you need O(1) indexing, a
suitable Bigarray (or even just an int array) can be used as an
alternate string representation.
I think Unicode support should be a matter of library functionality,
not native string representation. There is at least one Unicode
library available for OCaml (camomile.sourceforge.net).
