The document is out of date. It claims UTF-16 is the simplest
encoding and that it's fixed-width, but these days Unicode code points
go up to 0x10FFFF and so UTF-16 is now strictly a multi-byte encoding.
UTF-32 is probably the simplest, fixed-width encoding. However since
the Unicode standard itself claims that nearly all characters in all
modern languages are below 0xFFFF, treating UTF-16 as fixed-width is
likely to work in most cases.
