For ucs4 -> utf8 we would have to use a result string with a length of

ucs4 uses 4 bytes per character and utf8 1-4 bytes. I don't understand
where you get this number from.
utf8 can use up to 6 characters. 4 bytes would not have been enough to
store 4 bytes of data plus the protocol necessary to decode utf8.
