Plus has quite some overlap with
<https://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.supported-encodings.php>.

I only just did a cursory reading of the source, but in the case of UCS-2, what the table needs to say is:

* "UCS-2" comes with byte-order detection
* "ISO-10646-UCS-2" and "UCS2" (and "UNICODE") are aliases for "UCS-2"
* "UCS-2BE" is always big-endian
* "UCS-2LE" is always little-endian

The whole table on that page is just screwy.

Quote:
ISO-10646-UCS-2 UCS-2 In contrast to UCS-2, strings are always assumed to be in BIG endian form.

ISO-10646-UCS-2 UCS-2 In contrast to UCS-2, strings are always assumed to be in LITTLE endian form.

ISO-10646-UCS-2 has 3 definitions, different one from another
