I agree.

No, because Google transcodes everything into UTF-8 as soon as it starts
to process it. What I can say (auct. Mark Davis) is that UTF-16 documents
in all formats represent much less than 0.1% of the searchable Web.
By contrast, UTF-8 (including ASCII) amounts to 80% of it. This reflects
actual rather than declared encodings, and is as of January 2012.
