BOCU-1 is now an IANA-registered charset: http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
I thought it might be useful and interesting to show the list of Unicode charsets that are registered: Charset name, MIBenum, aliases (if any *) UTF-7 (MIBenum 1012) UTF-8 (MIBenum 106) UTF-16 (MIBenum 1015) UTF-16BE (MIBenum 1013) UTF-16LE (MIBenum 1014) UTF-32 (MIBenum 1017) UTF-32BE (MIBenum 1018) UTF-32LE (MIBenum 1019) CESU-8 (MIBenum 1016) SCSU (MIBenum 1011) BOCU-1 (MIBenum 1020) There are also some (obsolete) Unicode 1.1 charsets registered: UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7 (MIBenum 103) csUnicode11UTF7 UNICODE-1-1 (MIBenum 1010) csUnicode11 [this uses the UCS-2BE encoding scheme] This is even more obsolete: ISO-10646-UTF-1 (MIBenum 27) csISO10646UTF1 [Unicode 1.0? Very obsolete encoding scheme.] The list also contains some registrations that are - encoding forms, not charsets - repertoires, not charsets - subsets of Unicode, with UCS-2BE encoding scheme * There is always one implicit alias: "cs" + the primary charset name.
