I find it interesting that you mentioned only space savings here, and
when that was debunked shifted the goal posts.
Anyway, your claim is not new, and has been debunked more thoroughly
quite some time ago, in particular in
<http://utf8everywhere.org/#asian>. There they find that the article
about Japan in the Japanese Wikipedia takes 55% more space (1186KB
instead of 767KB, 419KB difference) in UTF-16 than in UTF-8. If you
convert it from HTML into dense plain text, UTF-16 saves 21% (176KB
instead of 222KB, 46KB). So if your computer deals with more than 9
times more dense plain text than HTML, UTF-16 starts being a (tiny)
win. Most people, though, deal with more HTML, and then UTF-8 is a
win.
