I'm not proficient in all this, but isn't it like that(?):
Unicode a list where characters are referenced through numeric values; 
a character encoding scheme;
then there are two actual encoding forms, UTF-8 and UTF-16, dealing with 
the representation through being 16-bit or byte oriented.

Will m17n implement Unicode?
