Utf7	65000	UTF-7; avoid for new data.
Utf16Le	1200	UTF-16 little-endian.
Utf16Be	1201	UTF-16 big-endian.
Utf32Le	12000	UTF-32 little-endian.

WARNING

A code-page identifier does not make an A-suffixed API UTF-8. Those APIs use the process ANSI conventions. Convert explicitly when Unicode correctness is required.
