I have done a little reading in the meantime, and it seems that it doesn't work
exclusively with Unicode (as is the case with Java), but it does have a version of the String class - don't remember the name - that uses Unicode instead of single-byte encoding.
>>1) Is the language compiled for each platform (C-style), interpreted by some sort of virtual machine (Java-style), or what?

Thanks.
