java设置编码utf-16,UTF-16编码问题

String str1="a";

String str2="b";

String str3="c";

String str4="abc";

System.out.println(str1.getBytes("UTF-16").length);//4

System.out.println(str2.getBytes("UTF-16").length);//4

System.out.println(str3.getBytes("UTF-16").length);//4

System.out.println(str4.getBytes("UTF-16").length);//8

System.out.println(str1.getBytes("UTF-8").length);//1

System.out.println(str2.getBytes("UTF-8").length);//1

System.out.println(str3.getBytes("UTF-8").length);//1

System.out.println(str4.getBytes("UTF-8").length);//3

System.out.println(str1.getBytes("UTF-32").length);//4

System.out.println(str2.getBytes("UTF-32").length);//4

System.out.println(str3.getBytes("UTF-32").length);//4

System.out.println(str4.getBytes("UTF-32").length);//12

Unicde编码中不明白的，像UTF-8/UTF-32中str4编码后字节数都是str1+str2+str3，但UTF-16则不然，UTF-16到底是如何编码的呢？求赐教。
