I assume you meant UTF32 not UCS32, given UCS2 is Microsoft's
half-assed UTF16.
I meant UCS-4, which is identical to UTF-32. It's hard keeping
all that stuff straight. Sigh.

It's also worth mentioning that the more I think about it, the
UTF8 vs. UTF16 thing was probably not worth mentioning with the
rest of the things I listed out. It's pretty minor and more of a
preference.
