I might be wrong but cpython uses UCS internally on unicode, so even if sqlite had UTF-32 it would not work.

Normally, you should be able to pass a unicode object directly to a

Armin thanks for the clarification.

>From your note, i see what went wrong. We were directly passing pypy's UTF-32 (we are testing on linux) to SQLite's UTF-16 API. So this is why we only got the first character on the SQLite side.

Also linux's 32 bit wchars are unfortunate in our case, because SQLite only supports UTF-8 and UTF-16 in their API. So there is no way on linux to directly pass pypy's unicode strings to SQLite.
