In my "previous" life I was involved in localization of huge network
management application. Japanese language was one of main target.
We used UTF-8 (which is Unicode) and it did the job.
Bottom line, this is very low yield (you can spend lots of time
chasing it all for little to none improvements) problem. Make sure
that you application works in all other aspects, and forget about
this alleged Unicode deficiency until you hear about it from your
customers.

What actual problem are you experiencing?
There are certainly cases where things do not round-trip in and
out of Unicode and remain bit-identical. This doesn't
particularly mean Unicode is unsuitable as a general-purpose
encoding.
Editor program uses internal Unicode representation and reads 'A'
than writes 'B', because conversion from encoding X to Unicode to
encoding X does not preserve 'A' ? How can this be OK?
It's more trying to load an em-dash and getting a regular dash;
that sort of thing, but think much more obscure.
