Is there any good reason why implementors would not support the

UTF-8 up to four bytes, you mean. See
<http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3629.html>.



I guess I was recalling (from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html) that six bytes allows encoding all possible 2^31 UCS code points, although
I suppose nothing above plane 1 has been defined. - Ed Trager


Plane 2 has tens of thousands of Chinese characters and Plane 14 has variation selectors and language tags. However, nothing will ever be defined above Plane 16. JTC1/SC2/WG2 made a firm commitment to that.
