Then enlighten yourself in the whole issue using Google before you speak
about what you don't know.
Hint: UTF8 is not the problem. Unicode is. And the major problem is in the
compatibility CJK set.

Do your research, and learn. Regardless of what side of the issue with
Unicode and CJK one decides to be in, it is _clearly_ not a simple matter,
and your careless comments show you have no idea of the issue at hand.
Ask our resident Japanese i18n especialists what they would think of a
proposal of UTF8 being the default charset for every locale. The answers
should at the very least give you an idea of the amount of effort it would
take to get such a useless proposal through.
