Without quoting it's hard to find where you reply begings.

What do you mean, exactly. Again, in 

     http://boost.org/doc/html/program_options/howto.html#id2716238

the Unicode support is discussed in some depth. What do you mean by
"options_description has no Unicode support"? The fact that you can't give
Unicode names to options? Yes, this is not supported for now. The fact that
you can't parse wide version of argc and argv -- but you actually can! Or
what do you mean?
