Hi all-
  I have a question directed mostly at those involved in the Far East.
Since Unicode is often implemented in UTF8, and UTF8 uses 3 bytes
for Chinese characters (instead of the 2 bytes in Chinese and Japanese
GB, Big5, JIS), UTF8 documents solely in these languages will be 50%
larger.  This appears to be a large stumbling block to universal
acceptance of UTF8.  Is there much resistance to UTF8 in the 
Far East, are there work-arounds to the problem, and are many 
people even aware of the problem?
