This is not true. If they are not processing the data they can use UTF-16.
So why UTF-8? Yjeu plan to use the data in their processing. To do that
they will have to develop a whole new set of support routines that will run
slower that UTF-8 because it will take more processing to determine actual
character length. It is more added overhead than sorting UTF-16 in code
point sequence.
