No, it's a question of hashing algorithm. And it's one that's fairly
easily solved simply by picking a specific nonambiguous UTF-8  
encoding
before hashing.
UTF-8 is a *single* encoding, and it maps every Unicode character to
a unique binary representation. So, it is completely nonambiguous.
In this case, encoding refers to normalization form, as other people  
have used it in the conversation besides me.

I suggest you stop trying to find inconsequential stuff to argue  
about, especially when a tiny bit of critical thinking would reveal  
the answer.
