You said you won't respond, but for the sake of clarity for others, I have to
reply.


(1) All strings should be sanitised, so that they will be perfectly safe, and
will not break anything.
(2) It is racist to suggest that all non-English people are Chinese (or
Japanese or Korean). Most scripts in the world are given only 3 byte encodings
per character in UTF-8, and not a code point per spoken word, as you say. That
is a lie.
(3) The world has still not settled on UTF-16. But modern languages and
platforms tend to do so. Java, Dotnet, ICU, KDE, QT, Windows NT, JavaScript,
Dart, Flutter...

In today's world, support for both the modern UTF-16 and the legacy UTF-8 is
needed.
