Are unicode characters safe?
One question for the SDK veterans or the team.

The LR SDK fully supports Unicode characters. The only outstanding SDK bug I've seen reported here:
Conversion between upper- and lower-case for non-Latin characters on Windows:
That can be worked around using a pure-Lua Unicode library.
There are a couple of bugs in LR (not specific to the SDK) with non-Latin characters: sorting keywords not ignoring case (probably the same root cause as the bug above); exported catalogs moved from Windows to Mac or vice versa not handling folder names containing non-Latin characters properly.
