multibyte encodings other than UTF-8

[Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS <edmundo@rano.demon.co.uk>]

This is off-topic, of course, but perhaps someone here can tell me if
there are multibyte encodings in use, other than UTF-8, in which the
number of octets used to represent a character is not equal to the
number of character cells used to display it on a terminal?

In fact a list of the multibyte encodings would be nice. I just know
that there are several for each of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and the
only one I ever looked at in detail had number of octets = width on
display, so you can handle it just like any 8-bit character set.
