I think I read about someone not wanting to use UTF-8 for a Chinese 
database because a lot of the clients were using Netscape 4. I guess it 
all depends on your target group.

At least Unicode has all the needed kanji these days... Otherwise it'd 
be a real pain. I use it for everything, including my filesystem, system 
locale, mail, sometimes even on IRC. I guess what you have to do is wish 
that everyone else will start doing the same. ;)
