You don't need 4 bytes per character for Unicode in most places. A brief examination of the unicode xterm shows that, as expected it doesn't actually store everything as 32-bit ultra-wide characters. Most strings can be stored as UTF-8, a few places might deal with the actual code point and have a 32-bit integer temporarily, but certainly not huge strings of them.
