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.
