Ack! You've succumbed to the bizarre dialect of Group Program Manager/Vice President English!

I'm not usually not so much of a language purist, but one of the things adequately beaten into my little head during a a class with my university's most dedicated professor of literature was this: geometrically speaking, a center is a single point. Therefore, things do not center around anything; they center upon something. It's just like focus: you can only focus upon one point, you can't focus around something.

Examples of misuse are widespread, but "to center around" seems particularly pervasive in corporate jargon.

My own writing is still full of language barbarisms and mishaps, but that one mistake I can never make again. Once, I was listening to a a GPM at Microsoft talking about our product strategy, and I bit my tongue and clenched my teeth as he used the phrase repeatedly.

I may never be entirely used to working for Microsoft, as opposed to working with Microsoft products....

<<If one was going to subset, putting all the text in a string and then changing that IntPtr in the pinvoke declare of pusCharCodeSet to a string>>

Trap here!

Do not try collecting all the characters that are used in a string, use the real text.

So don't use ": Cadefhiklnost" for "delete all the files on disk C:," because it will not include the ligatures glyphs (ie "fi" in file) and will mess contextual shaping, which might be needed.
