Are you thinking of CESU-8 (see Unicode Technical Report  #26 at 
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr26/). This is similar to Perl's UTF-8 in 
that it handles supplementary plane characters as two surrogates. But it 
isn't otherwise 'unrestricted' and it isn't intended or recommended as an 
encoding used for open information exchange.
