i thought the word 'issue' meant 'a problem'...

  Depending on the level of abstraction you're living at - and that depends on the overall goal, performance constraints, environmental integration, OS / machine heterogeneity etc. - it may or may not be a problem. It's easy to dismiss if you have all the time in the world and a deep stack of abstractions. If you're doing deep packet analysis on UTF-16 text in a router, things may be different.

    thanks, my question was right about the issues met by people living in another levels of abstractions. i'm not a native english speaker and a newb to HN, so sorry that i put my sincere question so that it looked like arrogant statement 'there are no issues, what are you talking about, i even don't know what LE and BE mean'. will learn.

    If you're not sending UTF-16 text across the wire in network byte order, you are already in a world of pain.
