I still do not see any reasonable why this UnixFileSystem-API is partly processing chars vs. bytes. E.G compare UnixPath.normalize(...) vs. UnixPath.initOffsets(). This is the initialization of the file system and so is somewhat special, it basically needs the default directory so that it can compare it it to the working directory of the process. The syscall for the later give it to us in bytes. You are right that the absolute path check could be done with chars but I don't think it makes any difference unless there are wider changes to support multi-byte encodings.
