Strings are stored in UTF-16 by default anyway in Java (a Char type is 16bits), so unless you're constructing the strings in very creative ways, you're already paying the memory cost. The question of what you output to the browser or the database is a matter for adaptation and transmission/communication time.

for a while with some different db's (PostgreSql and SqlServer,
encoded with ISO-8859-1) and we never had any problem with it.
