s/ISO-Latin/ISO Latin/g

With UCS16 you probably mean "UCS-2", or "UTF-16" (which is an extension
of UCS-2).
With UCS32 you probably mean "UCS-4" (which is also called "UTF-32").

I stand corrected, I ment UCS-2 and -4. I was indeed confused by the UTF
encodings.

Normally called "ISO 8859-1" or "ISO Latin 1" or just "Latin-1".

Though ITYM: "ISO-8859-1". (the real one with two hyphens)

They are different... ISO Latin 1 is a character set (an unordered
collection of characters). ISO-8859-1 is a particular encoding of that
character set as 8-bit integers. There are others; in particular some
EBCDIC codepages.

"ISO-8859-1" wasn't mentioned in the part that you quote, so I don't see
what you mean with "They".
