To my understanding, UCS-2 and UCS-4 are the names of
Character Encoding Form (CEF), not Character Encoding Scheme
(CES), and as CEF doesn't include byte serialization
mechanism, it can't be a coding system. Only CES (UTF-XXX)
can be a coding system.
But, I don't know the definition of UCS-2BE. Is it just a
limited UTF-16BE (limited to BMP)? Where is it defined
officially?
