specific variants of ISO 646; I don't know whether they're still in use

No. UTF-32 is always 4 bytes AIUI. UTF-8 is variable (1..4) and so is
UTF-16 (either 2 or 4, though 4 bytes are needed only for characters >
U+, i.e. outside the BMP or Basic Multilingual Plane).

to U+. However, UTF-8 is longer than UTF-16 for
characters gt U+07FF (but catches up again for U+1 to U+10: both
encodings need four bytes for characters in that range because of
UTF-16's surrogate encoding).

Hm, and its status as an RFC would encourage others to submit

Funny how everyone seems to have on of those. (Most of the books
on my DBP I haven't even bought yet.)
