Checking a UTF-16 instance against a UTF-8 Schema

Probably a FAQ, but not one I've encountered.

Can all available validating parsers validate an XML instance represented in
UTF-16 against an XML Schema represented in UTF-8? 

Would anything special need to be done to achieve the validation, or would
it suffice for each of them to have their encodings appropriately indicated?

The intent here is to use a given Schema, represented in UTF-8, to validate
an instance document that uses the same element and attribute labels, yet
the element and/or attribute content requires UTF-16, e.g., strings
containing accented French.

Anything special I need to be aware of?

Thanks,

Mark
