yes - those items that are encoded into unicode when
unicode_semantics is on (afair, class names and property names for serialize)

it's an overhead when you serialize and unserialize data on the same
system with the same php.ini unicode settings; but when transferring data to
other systems or changing something, you need to either use unicode, or
specify encoding for the serialized data (so, you can convert them to the
actual encoding when unserializing)
