"no unicode version of ..." is microsoft speak and means "no utf-16 
version of...".
So are you sure that GetProcAdress doesn't swallow utf-8? The main advantage
of utf-8 is that you get unicode support for free. So if GetProcAddress 
just takes
the byte sequence and compares it against the PECOFF table then 
everything is ok.
It only does not work if it is broken on purpose such as the utf-8 
literals in visual c.
