Yes, why not?
Why persist with all those regional encodings when there *is* one encoding that works for (almost) all languages? Especially when most of the regional encodings are only capable of displaying one non-Roman language...
And regional encodings in E-MAIL systems are the *most* *annoying* *things* *ever*!
Have you ever tried to send a Chinese or Japanese or Russian e-mail to someone who's not in the same country?
GRRR... when I send Chinese e-mails to my friends on Mainland China or in Japan, all the characters are messed up! That's because we use BIG5 encoding here in Taiwan but they use GB in the PRC and Shift-JIS in Japan! It's soooo annoying!
Shouldn't we just all adopt Unicode and be one big, happy multilingual family...

Some encoding systems use 16 bit long characters such as in chinese or japanes. you can not always use UTF as it presumes each character is a byte long or 8 bits
