What does Native Unicode mean?

Under Windows NT all strings are stored as Unicode strings (16 bit per character instead of 8 bit). A true Unicode application will run faster on NT because the OS is internally Unicode aware, so no conversions are needed. Also, a Unicode application can be used without any modification on Windows NT in Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Thai, etc.
