\pdfinfo doesn't seem to support Unicode, when I compile the attached example with luatex I get symbols like هصة instead of the proper (Arabic) Unicode strings. Shouldn't luatex default to Unicode here too?

I suspected that, since hyperrref with latex does this, but I found that xetex supports Unicode pdfinfo directly and thought luatex should do this too.
I could intercept \pdfinfo, but I suspect there are many more locations (like bookmarks). Hans, would automatic conversion to utf16 be doable?
Try generating the attached example with xetex.
It is a little easier for xetex because it is not normal for xetex users to create their own literal pdf output. In pdftex (and thus luatex) this happens all the time.
