I need to store multiple languages in one database (English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, ???). At first I thought I would just us Unicode, but then I realized that it is only UTF-8 and it is my understanding that UTF-8 is insufficient for Chinese and Korean.

Your assumption is incorrect. The idea of unicode is to have a single character set for representing all languages. UTF-8 is a representation of unicode and is designed to encode any unicode character.
