Sooner or later your code will exhibit bugs if it assumes that
char==codepoint with UTF16, because of surrogate pairs.

As far as I can tell, pretty much the only users of UTF16 are
Windows programs. Everyone else uses UTF8 or UCS32.
I recommend using UTF8.
I assume you meant UTF32 not UCS32, given UCS2 is Microsoft's
half-assed UTF16.
