Unicode Queries?

We are planning to convert one of our products to a Unicode-based database, and we've got most of the prep-work done already. There's only one major problem: we're still using OPNQRYF to generate queries on the database.
I'm assuming that, because it's a CL command, OPNQRYF isn't going to cut it for selecting on Unicode (probably strict UCS-2 without surrogates) strings, at least not for the general case of Unicode strings that can't be represented in any one EBCDIC codepage.
What *would* cut it? Some other OS/400-native form of query? SQL? (If the latter, please be aware that my only experience using SQL on a 400 has been going through JDBC, with a product called SQUIRREL that one of my colleagues turned me on to, and that whatever we do has to be able to work under V4R4 and later [V4R2, if anything has to be done from C].)
