Berkeley DB is entirely agnostic on data types. We store and retrieve
keys and values; you define the types and assign semantics to them.
We've got a number of customers storing wide character data in various
encodings and character sets in Berkeley DB.
Our default btree comparator and hash function are simple bit string
operators. You'd need to write a comparison function for btrees that
understood the collating sequence of the character set you store.
