I count only ~7000 usages across the code base, so that is not such a

Internally it is doable, externally that is more of a problem, since
sal_Unicode is part of the stable external API.
The best you can do is to have an internal 'alias' for it.
Or the worst, considering that you then confusingly have two names for
the same concept.
It may be indeed useful, for more clarity, to have typedef to be
explicit about things, sal_utf8, sal_utf16, sal_utf16be, sal_utf16le,
sal_utf32, sal_utf32be, sal_utf32le
Trying to encode semantic differences (like between sal_utf16be and
sal_utf16le) requires discipline (as it does not get any aid from the
compiler's type checking), and when it starts to go sour it's probably
worse than not trying to make the distinction in the type system in the
first place (as now variables labelled to be of type sal_utf16be will
misleadingly contain values of type sal_utf16le).
