I would question whether you need UTF8 or, perhaps, some other UTF<x>

What? You must be confusing UTF with ISO-8859-x.
UTF8 is great for users of the Latin alphabet, as these chars are 8 bits
wide. Other odd chars and Cyrillic or Arabic chars in UTF8 might be up
to 32 bits wide (4bytes). So using UTF16 might make more sense in Arab
countries where they would save up to twice the database/hard disk space.
