It does indeed more or less disappear when the files are zipped, but since the reading software has to unzip the .html files in order to render the text and some older readers have problems with .html files significantly larger than 280 KB, IMHO, there's no point in using utf-16 in the first place.
AFAIK, utf-16 only needs to be used with certain APIs that expect utf-16 formatted strings and for the proper handling of some
CJK characters.
