Why do yo need UTF-16 as the database encoding? UTF-8 is already
supported,
and any UTF-16 character can be represented in UTF-8 as far as I know.
Yes, that's correct. However there are advantages in using UTF-16
encoding for those characters that are always going to take atleast
two-bytes to represent.
Any suggestion to store data in utf-16 is likely to be a complete
non-starter. I suggest you research our previously stated requirements
for server side encodings.
