Err...not in my world ;)

So if I read this correctly, there is a mixture of
Unicode and non-Unicode filenames. A non-Unicode
filename is recognised when the most significant byte
is 0x00, hence the default clause in the unicode2iso
function.

Without this default clause, Rockbox would regard a
native character string as Unicode and try to convert
it to iso resulting in garbled filenames.

Luckily enough (or perhaps by design), Chinese
character sets never introduce 0x00 (or any Ascii
control character into the byte stream).
