You are right - it would be too tedious to create sites this way.
As you can imagine, Russian developers do NOT do that :-)

Moreover, in all of the above discussion the WRONG assumption was used:
- "to have English and Russian characters one needs to create
a Unicode, UTF-8 page"

Why??? Russian 8-bit letter is NO different in any way that say an
accented
Italian letter, so:

- developers in Italy or Germany or France do NOT create UTF-8
pages (UTF-8 characters) to have say English and Italian letters on a
page.
No, they use a legacy, "good old" national encoding -
"Western European" and have their REGULAR national letters in the
.html text
and state that fact (what the real data is) in the META line:
<meta....charset= windows-1252> or
<meta....charset= iso-8859-1>

- _absolutely_ the same thing people do while creating a page with
English
and Russian (or English+Polish or English+Greek or any other
non-Western) -
they use their REGULAR letters (not UTF-8 characters) - in their good
old
legacy encoding. For Russian it's "Cyrillic(Windows)" -
and state that fact (what the real data is) in the META line:

<meta....charset= windows-1251>

..
