You would have to change how standard AX generates XML schemas. What's the problem you have with UTF-16?
UTF-8 is suppose to be subset of UTF-16, so having UTF-16 is not any issue
what is the problem you are facing with UTF-16
appreciated if you please explain your core issue.
UTF-8 is not a subset of UTF-16. They're two separate and incompatible (though convertible) encodings, both capable of encoding all Unicode characters. The main difference is in number of bytes used for encoding characters (e.g. UTF-8, unlike UTF-16, encodes certain characters with a single byte) and backward compatibility of UTF-8 with ASCII.
Main UTF-8 pros:
•Basic ASCII characters like digits, Latin characters with no accents, etc. occupy one byte which is identical to US-ASCII representation. This way all US-ASCII strings become valid UTF-8, which provides decent backwards compatibility in many cases.
•No null bytes, which allows to use null-terminated strings, this introduces a great deal of backwards compatibility too.
Main UTF-8 cons:
•Many common characters have different length, which slows indexing and calculating a string length terribly.
Main UTF-16 pros:
•Most reasonable characters, like Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese can be represented with 2 bytes. Unless really exotic characters are needed, this means that the 16-bit subset of UTF-16 can be used as a fixed-length encoding, which speeds indexing.
Main UTF-16 cons:
•Lots of null bytes in US-ASCII strings, which means no null-terminated strings and a lot of wasted
This may help to transform:

we have a custom service and the schema is in UTF-16 but our external system accepts only UTF-8 format. so is there a way to change schema with out using the transforms. we have UTF-8 as default and validation checked on the form. but still the schema is in UTF-16.
