IMHO Unicode would have been a better standard if UTF-16
hadn't existed. Just UTF-8 and UTF-32, code points in the range
U+0000..7FFFFFFF, no surrogates, no confusion about "how many bits is
Unicode", an ASCII-compatible encoding in most external transmissions,
uniform width for internal processing, and practically no byte
ordering issues. Much simpler.
