Chris Espinosa:
Basically, it's ISO 10646 in UCS-4, which is generally coherent with
UTF-16 for the subset that is defined in ISO 10646. For promotion
of 7-bit ASCII characters, which is what you'd usually find in
source, it will be more than adequate.
I believe you’re confusing things here. ISO 10646:2003 contains the
same character mapping as Unicode 5.0, and UCS-4 can represent all of
it (unlike UCS-2). My understanding is that the differences between
ISO 10646 and Unicode are (in principle) to do with Unicode defining
rules for string processing, whereas ISO 10646 only defines the
encoding tables.
