If this is the goal, what about non-lossy ASCII?

I either don't understand the question or ASCII. :-)
How can you guarantee that that a unichar-string can always be converted
to ASCII?

Just try that ;) The gist of is is that each \ is converted to \\, whilst non-ASCIIable characters are converted to \<code> (it is slightly more complicated in practice).

Alas I am not an expert enough of cryptology to be able to say whether coding a UTF16 string as a twice that long string of 8-bit characters would strengthen or weaken the encryption, or whether it would not have any influence at its strength (with a very plain encryption of ROT13 type it would be weaker of course, but for other methods I really am not sure).
