That's not true. You don't gain any single additional character when
going with UTF-16. Both UTF-8 and UTF-16 are just different methods of
encoding the same Unicode character space. You can find some additional
resources at [1]. However, as QString internally stores its data in
UTF-16, sticking with UTF-16 might indeed make sense and provide better
performance.
