is being treated as UCS4. Where as actual string in this font is utf16.
Is "Unicode full repertoire (as per OTF spec.)" means UCS4 ?
No. UTF-16 can represent the full Unicode repertoire (up to 1,114,111).
Non-BMP codepoints are represented using surrogate pairs.
UCS-4, UTF-7 and UTF-8 all can also represent the full Unicode range.
The only transformation form that cannot is UCS-2, which is essentially
UTF-16 minus the surrogates, and is almost never used. Codepoints beyond
1,114,111 are not and never will be encoded in Unicode.
In OpenType fonts, all Unicode strings are encoded using UTF-16BE (i.e.
the Motorola big-endian flavor).
