Note also that it mentions the Unicode character set, not a particular
Unicode encoding scheme.

To me that implies that an implementation must support all 7 encoding
schemes, not just UTF-8.

At which point you probably want to make use of iconv, so you might as
well support all iconv-supported encodings.
