In UTF-8 mode, yes.  In UTF-16 mode, it'll return some form of wide character.

Or Xerxes is returning wide characters, and the word "byte" doesn't really 
reflect what's in the sources.  We don't have enough information here to be 
sure, and I don't know the Xerxes interface, so can't speak to what it's 
actually doing.
