Strikes me as strange that StringView requires the cast to LChar* and String does not.

    StringView(const LChar*, unsigned length);
    StringView(const UChar*, unsigned length);
    StringView(const char*);

We're missing:
    StringView(const char*, unsigned length);

Should I add it?

Yes.

If we already have the one without a length, then yes I think you should add it. The counter argument is that if we have a "const char*" with UTF-8 in it, we don’t want someone to accidentally interpret it as Latin-1. But I’m not sure that leaving this one particular overload out of StringView helps much with that problem.
