language agnostic - How prevalent is UTF-8 really? -


How is UTF-8 used for non-English text, on WWW or otherwise? I am interested in both statistical data and status of specific countries.

I know that ISO-885 9-1 (or 15) is firmly embedded in Germany - but languages ​​where you have to use multibeat anyway, encoding like Japan or China ? I know that a few years ago, Japan was still using various JIS encoding.

Looking at these comments, will it also be true that UTF-8 is the most common multibyte encoding? Or would it be more correct to say that it is basically used internally only in new applications, which specifically targets an international market and / or working with multi-language texts? Is there an app nowadays which only produces UTIF-8, or hopes to keep output files in a different legacy encoding to be able to be usable by other national markets relatively other apps.

Edit: I'm not asking if UTF-8 is useful or how it works. I know all this I am asking that this is actually being widely adopted and the old encoding is changing.
