Legacy character encodings. Character encoding forms that do not encode the full repertoire of characters in the Unicode character set.

It seems that UTF-32 and GB 18030 don't count as legacy character encodings according to this definition. Is it intentional?

UTF-32 certainly is not a legacy character encoding, since it is, in fact, a Unicode encoding defined by Unicode.

GB18030 is an interesting case, since it does encode the full repertoire but is not a Unicode encoding defined by Unicode. I think I'm fine with the ambiguity in that case?
