With the emphasis on *UTF-8* this is probably true. But both
the Metaphor OS and NextStep had reasonable priority claims--though
both of those implemented UCS-2 (Unicode 1.0, before there *was*
a UTF-16!). And the first version of Windows NT was up and running
fairly early, too, but with all its legacy character support, one
could argue that Unicode is/was not its *only* character encoding.
