I don't know where you get that information, but it's surely not what I read from the unicode.org website. UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 were all planned and officially support encodings. What I did find on the unicode.org website is that UTF-16 spec had to be amended afterwards because a Word size couldn't fit all supported characters and surrogate pairs were introduced. To me UTF-16 sounds more like a hack than anything else.
