Thanks, this looks almost completely straightforward.

One significant difference is that ucs-insert errors out if the argument
is larger than #x10FFFF, whereas insert-char does not---it tests for
CHARACTERP, which accepts up to #x3FFFFF.  That's because the code space
of utf-8-emacs is larger than Unicode.  Off the top of my head, making
it more permissive is OK, i.e. we should allow insert-char with
arguments of up to #x3FFFFF.  Anyone have a different opinion?
