No.  It only accepts character codes which are mapped to glyph indices
according to a cmap in the font.

It doesn't have such a function. This is at least one level higher.
There are a lot of free (and robust!) UTF8->Unicode converters
available in the net (e.g. in the latest xterm versions for the X
Window system).
