UTF-32 on the other hand is guaranteed to have a code unit be a full

I don't think the standard says that? Isn't this only because the
current set is small enough to fit? So this may change as Unicode grows?
The current unicode encoding has 2 million different code points. I'd
say we'll all be dead and so will our great great great grandchildren by
the time unicode amasses more than 2 billion codepoints :)
Also, UTF8 has been standardized to only have up to 4 code units per
code point. The encoding scheme allows more, but the standard restricts it.
