One more note; you could have a multi-part message body with different 
charsets. So 6556 and 78788 could be in one part as ASCII, while testname would 
be in another part as UTF-16.

Yes; you'd set the charset to be UTF-16 (although the "6556 78788" are also 
UTF-16).  However, you might be interested in RFC 2781 since it looks like 
there may be some restrictions.

Concerning the request-uri, my understanding is the answer is no.

RFC 3986 section 2.5 does provide an escaping mechanism to allow full UTF-8 for 
new URI schemes.  However my understanding is that older schemes (such as 
"sip"), don't expect the escaping concatenation.

Since you are asking about UTF-16, you might be interested in the following 
sipcore "SIP and Internationalisation" thread.  Things are potentially not as 
well standardized and interoperable as you might like it to be.

Thanks Bret. My question is more like I have couple  of data in the body of the 
SIP message like in SIP NOTIFY, the message body conatins data as
6556
78788
testname

where in only the testname should be in UTF-16 and the rest of the data remain 
as plain text In case we do this , do we have to set the charset in the 
content-type to "UTF-16"

Also can the request uri value have the data in UTF-16 ?

RFC 3261 section 7.4.1:

  SIP messages MAY contain binary bodies or body parts. When no
  explicit charset parameter is provided by the sender, media subtypes
  of the "text" type are defined to have a default charset value of
  "UTF-8".
