Actually this would be ideal for my astrological database
programmed in FORTH. UTF-16 sorting compatibility is
essential for my application. Due to a five character file name
limit I'll have to call UTF17S UTF17, but I'm sure this won't
confuse any of my users.

Historical footnote: The FORTH language would have been
called FOURTH (it's creator felt it was fourth generation),
but the OS it was written on had a limit of 5 letters for files.
