Et tu, Terry?

OK, I change my vote on the suggestion of "UCS2" to -1.  If a couple
of conscientious blokes like you and David both understand it that
way, I can't see any way to fight it.

FWIW, ISO/IEC 10646 (which is authoritative for UCS-2 and UCS-4) is
available via

http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html

Probably I'm the last non-author to ever read that document!
