You can buy the specification for 114 Swiss francs ;-)

I have the same understanding.

Is it reasonable to use the iconv library in Emacs (to not reimplement
its encodings)?

that are based on the old encodings. I understood so that UCS-2 is
an obsolete encoding and will be replaced gradually by UTF-16.
