UNICODE_FSS is a synonym for UTF-8 encoding. JayBird will correctly
convert Java unicode string into UTF-8 (it uses Java conversion
routines, so as long as Java can convert stuff correctly, JayBird can
as well). So, if your characters can be represented in the UTF-8
encoding, you will have no problems of correctly reading and writing
them into the database. Just be sure that you set "lc_ctype"
connection parameter to "UNICODE_FSS" and ensure that your database
column has UNICODE_FSS character set.
