It makes sense to me. His point is that calling UTF-8 "Unicode" is wrong, that just confuses people. Windows programmers usually also call UTF-16 "Unicode" which is also wrong. Unicode is not a text encoding, it's a standard that assigns a number to every character.Saying that a particular text is "Unicode" doesn't give any info on how to decode it, we should just say that a given text is UTF-7,8,16,32, etc.
