UTF-8 is an _encoding_ (as I wrote), as opposed to a direct
representation of a fixed width character (either 8 bit width ISO 8859-X
or 16 bit with UCS-2). Conversions to/from UTF-8 are not as
straightforward as fixed width character representations are.

 
Unicode is not, and never has been, a fixed-width character set.

I was speaking about the "UTF-8 _encoding_" of Unicode.

(Not sure what you consider the term "Unicode" implies.)
