No, I meant exactly UCS-2. Because UCS-2 guarantees that all symbols
are represented by 2 bytes when UTF-16 does not. And I had an
understanding that Doug said about this 16-bit guarantee. Also if
we're talking about encoding where any character can be represented by
a single variable of type wchar_t then we can talk only about UCS-2 or
UCS-4, not about UTF-* variants. Though of course someone can talk
about UTF-16 keeping in mind and relying on the fact that he will not
ever deal with characters not fitting into 2 bytes in UTF-16 encoding
and thus he effectively will work with UCS-2.
