Question - internal representation of char in Algol 68

[chris hermansen]

I notice in the online docs here:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/ga68/Standard-modes.html

this information:

Mode: char

Mode for character values. The character values are mapped one-to-one to
code points in the 21-bit space of Unicode.

To me this implies that char is implemented as UTF-32.  And for some reason
I think I have read that elsewhere, but I can't put my finger on it.

Please confirm (or not) that mode char is UTF-32!
