Nope. You are wrong. Sorry. And I'm not mixing them to any further
extent than to put them both into the "partial ISO-10646 salad".

UTF-16 can encode 65536-2048+1048576 = 1112064 characters.

The whole ISO-10646 range is 2147483648 characters, so UTF-16 only
covers about 0.05%.

Thus, unfortuantely neither the apples nor the oranges are
sufficient. The bananas and the pears (UCS-4 and UTF-8) are though.
