For a new project, it would be better to support UTF-16, rather
than UCS-2, from the very beginning. There are already characters
accepted for standardization that can not be encoded in UCS-2.
Cf.
- <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/>,
- <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/utf_bom.html#5>,
- <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/alloc/Pipeline.html#Characters and
  Scripts Accepted for Unicode>.
