If utf-8 character is used in all translations, it simplifies coding and fixes some issues.
1. Users can use any character instead of limited set of characters supported by some iso-8859-x charset. Compose conversions always work.
2. User preferences are not corrupted when users change interface language.
3. No Catch22 in database preferences and address books.

4. Simplified 8bit data checks. After decoding data can contain only utf-8 and html entities.
Forced use of utf-8 will create issues with incorrectly formated MIME messages and compatibility issues with older user preferences. In order to improve CJK support interface must bundle extra decoding functions.
