What do you mean by "width" in "variable-width character encoding"?

If you mean "the number of bytes a single character requires", where a
"character" corresponds to a Unicode code point, UTF-8 most definitely *is* a
variable-width character encoding; a single Unicode code point may require from
one to four bytes.

UTF-16 is also a variable-width character encoding in that sense; a single
Unicode code point may require either two or four bytes.
