Remove incorrect information about bit-size

Browse Source 
UTF-8 is a variable-width encoding that uses octets, UTF-16
is a variable-width encoding that uses 16-bit words, and
UCS-2 is an obsolete fixed-width encoding that doesn't not
support characters beyond the BMP. Explaining this would be
unwieldly, so we just removed the information.
