Well, http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/principles.html says:

    The Unicode Standard is the universal character encoding standard used
    for representation of text for computer processing. It is fully
    compatible with the International Standard ISO/IEC 10646-1; 1993, and
    contains all the same characters and encoding points as ISO/IEC 10646.
    The Unicode Standard also provides additional information about the
    characters and their use. Any implementation that is conformant to
    Unicode is also conformant to ISO/IEC 10646.

Of course, that's the Unicode Consortium spin.  Offhand, I don't know
whether the ISO folks have a different spin.
