It’s better style to use size_t, which makes the type of vector’s size than unsigned, which can be narrower.

This will widen characters to UChar based on the signed-ness of characters on a particular platform. If the characters are all ASCII, that’s OK, but if there are non-ASCII characters we probably want the characters treated as Latin-1 as we do in most other contexts. To accomplish that, we will need to cast the characters to unsigned char before letting them get widened to UChar.

The same applies for const char*.

We should either have an isASCII assertion or a typecast to unsigned char.
