Why do you say that? UTF-8 can represent everything in the unicode
Basic Multilingual Plane, which includes most common Japanese. You
only need to go to UTF-16 or UTF-32 (aka UCS4) if you want to use
stuff in the higher planes, which is only typically necessary for
dead languages or relatively infrequently used Chinese/Japanese/
Korean characters.
And actually, in the interests of accuracy and not leaving
misinformation in the list archives, I just checked and UTF-8 can in
fact represent all unicode planes. Sorry... should have looked last
night. Don't post when you're tired :)
