Huh?

Quoted text from the Unicode wikipedia article. Note the last three lines.

"Unicode can be implemented by different character encodings. The most
commonly used encodings are UTF-8 (which uses one byte for any ASCII
characters, which have the same code values in both UTF-8 and ASCII
encoding, and up to four bytes for other characters), the now-obsolete
UCS-2 (which uses two bytes for each character but cannot encode every
character in the current Unicode standard), and UTF-16 (which extends
UCS-2 to handle code points beyond the scope of UCS-2)."
