This graph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unicode_Web_growth.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unicode_Web_growth.svg suggests 2008 is when UTF-8 ate the world. That's still 15 years ago.
However it should be noted, that the encoding that UTF-8 was replacing was largely (not exclusively) iso-8859-1 which probably had the characters we are talking about.
