If you're referring to different character encodings, it makes no sense to mix different encodings in the same file and you haven't told us which 8-bit and which 16-bit encodings you want, either.
the output file does not have comma the first column of numbers would occupy just first 8 columns of the output file and the rest of column of numbers would go to sections of the output file which each of them has 16 column space of the output file, so the output file has 8+16+16+16 columns which each number should stay in specific section.

NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]] DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output. If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec- ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not zero. Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one. ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7). EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1) HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD. BSD
