It is UTF-8 internally.  (Regarding what I said about how I fixed it in 
BibleCS... Windows used UTF-16 interally and even then, surrogates, which 
are required for anything beyond 0xFFFF, are only supported by Windows 
2000 and Windows XP.  So to display in Windows, we have to convert the 
UTF-8 into its codepoint value (UTF-32) and then into UTF-16.  Then the 
UTF-16 is converted to RTF like we did with all other codepoints.)

There is one thing I probably should have mentioned: The only font I am
aware of that supports the Plane 1 Gothic range (0x10330-0x1034F) is
Code2001--not Code2000. Changing the font may turn out to solve the
problem for you.
