RFC 3629 (STD 63)* says: "UTF-8 encodes UCS characters as a varying number of octets". If you read that one closely, it covers this issue: "All standard UCS encoding forms except UTF-8 have an encoding unit larger than one octet" I think it be fine to mention the first part, about varying numbers of octets. No need to repeat RFC 3629 in detail. I think most readers of this document will be trying to get UTF-8 right. thanks, Rob * https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3629.html
