Y'know, Microsoft had a long-running habit of referring to UTF-16 as "Unicode," because a long time ago, that was the standard terminology.

It isn't anymore.

Language changes over time. If you want an "SD card" that conforms to the original standard, you're just going to have to ask for an SDSC card. If you want a card that does not conform to the standard (by using unsigned arithmetic where the standard specifies otherwise), then you're probably out of luck.

Technically most of the time they also refer to UTF-16 when they actually means UCS-2
