<div><p>UTF-32 is an encoding of Unicode in which each character is composed
of 4 bytes.</p>
<p>The operating system does not support UTF-32 encoding
with a CCSID value.</p>
<p>Unicode was originally designed as a pure 16-bit encoding, aimed at representing
all modern scripts. Over time, and especially after the addition of over 14
500 composite characters for compatibility with established sets, it became
clear that 16 bits were not sufficient for many users. Out of this arose UTF-32.</p>
<p>UTF-32 allows characters to be encoded as 4 bytes at any code point from
00000000 to 0010FFFF. For example, the string <em>ABC</em> in UTF-32 is encoded
as <samp class="codeph">x"000000410000004200000043"</samp>.</p>
