These are for internal usage only. I doubt someone can make UTF16/32 works as connection charset, it's too much work. For columns, with some work may be possible. But why? UTF-8 uses 1-4 bytes per char, UTF-16 is also multibyte, using 2-4, and UTF-32 always 4 bytes per char. I don't see how they might be preferred over UTF-8.
