Dear Corentin,

I think you want to refer to *the Unicode encoding forms*.
See, for instance:
The Unicode Standard, Section 3.9, Unicode Encoding Forms
<http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode15.0.0/ch03.pdf#G7404>:

> The Unicode Standard supports three character encoding forms: UTF-32,
> UTF-16, and UTF-8.

Unicode Technical Report #17, Unicode Character Encoding Model, Section
5 Character Encoding Scheme (CES):
<https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr17/#CharacterEncodingScheme>

> Some of the Unicode encoding schemes have the same labels as the three
> Unicode encoding forms.


Note that *Unicode encodings specified in the Unicode standard* is a little
bit ambiguous, because Unicode distinguishes the encoding *forms* (code
points to code units) from the encoding *schemes* (code units to bytes; the
Unicode Standard supports seven encoding schemes, with LE/BE/BOM for 16 and
32). Assuming that the context here is [format.string.escaped] in document
P2736, it looks like you are indeed dealing with the interpretation of code
units (represented by the types char8_t, char16_t, and char32_t, per
[lex.string.literal] referenced in [format.string.escaped]), and thus with
encoding *forms*.

Best regards,

Robin Leroy
