As Michka Kaplan already said, "ANSI mode" can also be a DBCS code page.

> 2. 16-bit stream with 65536-character repertoire

This should be split in two separate entries:

        2a. 16-bit stream with 65536-character repertoire ("UCS2", or
"Unicode")

        2b. 16-bit stream with 1114112-character repertoire ("UTF-16", or
"Unicode w/ surrogates support")

> 3. 8-bit stream with 65536-character repertoire

This should read: "1114112-character repertoire".
