NTFS unicode converting problem

Hi, it seems that NTFS in FreeBSD uses a 16-bit long wchar to store
filename. When I wanted to convert some Chinese filename into UTF-8,
the conversion  was failed because a single Chinese character needs 3
bytes in UTF-8. Is anyone already working on this problem? If not, I
would like to do something about it. Any suggestions?

David
