I can't take you seriously, sorry. UTF-8 is the future, there's no way around it.
You need multiples of 8 bit to store non-ASCII-codepoints, but UTF-8 is doing a
great job.
Keep in mind: For most text streams, you are dealing with ASCII-characters. This
is one argument against UTF-16, which has a bottleneck in this regard.
