The problems he is having relate to encodings, and that has nothing to do with Unicode.
Except that he's having problems with Unicode encodings. In spite of protestations to the contrary, the term Unicode really refers to a standard and that standard includes definitions of encodings. IMO, it is a permissible shorthand to say Unicode encodings (or similar) as a shorthand for one or more of the encodings embodied in the Unicode standard(s) (or similar). The former is certainly easier on the senses and (again, IMO) is pretty unambiguous.

Note: I did not say that Unicode is synonymous with encoding. But saying that Unicode is not an encoding is every bit as incomplete a statement as saying that Unicode refers only to the encoding parts of the standard(s).
