There are other ways, like using 32-bit codepoints and using the extra values for composite characters a la Perl 6.
How does it work? There's an unlimited number of possible composing characters and only 11 free bits in a 32bit codepoint.

Everyone should just speak English. Seriously, Danish? Persian? Sanskrit?? Can't fit all that in a byte, so let's just trash 'em.
