UCS-2 would have been an improvement over the binary garbage. And anyway, UTF-8 is now universal for actual languages and there's plenty of space for new ones.

Pretty much the only case where UTF-8 won't be enough is if the Earth join the Galactic Federation with FTL communications. But in this case I think that migration off UTF-8 would be a good problem to have.
