You cannot mix UTF-8 and UTF-16 in the same file. However, if I understand you correctly, you won't need to. The schema file can be in UTF-8 quite happily, and this in no way means that the instance needs to also be in UTF-8. UTF-8 and UTF-16 are different ways of encoding the same numeric information. Therefore, just because your schema specifies tag names in UTF-8, it does not mean that your instance document needs to use the same encoding. As long as the encoding results in the same numeric information as defined in your schema, you're ok.
