You have "no byte order problem" for UTF-8, so you might
add a note about UTF-16LE vs. UTF-16BE below UTF-16.
And another note that u+10000 etc. needs two UTF-16
"half words" (please replace correct term).

That example isn't convincing, use something else,
e.g. Latin-2 and MacRoman.

Maybe s/Unicode/UTF-8/, you're talking about bytes
later.

Maybe add a third example for XML:
<?xml version="1.1" encoding="utf-8" ?>
