Granted, such 128-bit characters might be useful. This would allow various
organizations to define their own characters sets. Space in the global
character encoding space would be allocated in the same way as
IP address space is allocated under IPv6.

But to conserve file space, it would probably be best to allow intermixing of
128-bit characters with ASCI text. UTF-8 continues to be the way to do
this, since it just a compression scheme that does not really depend on the fact
that Unicode is currently limited to 32 bits. It could just as easily be extended
to work with much larger character sets.
