If any of you have tried to make Adonis work with widestring fields, you
probably ran into some fairly insuperable frustrations.  We finally went
and bought an Adonis source code license, and sure enough, function
after function is deliberately designed to work successfully on
ansistrings but to treat widestrings as unusable.  I found the
beginnings of some widestring support, commented out.  The reason they
didn't finish it, apparently, is that Borland wrote a completely broken
and untested TWideStringField class up through C++Builder 5, and without
that working, any other support they put in was a waste.

But at this point, I have gotten fairly complete support for working
widestrings, including a repaired TWideStringField class, into the
Adonis source.  If anyone's interested in being able to use Adonis on
unicode data, I can supply source code diffs.
