The height of a character has nothing to do with Unicode (or any of its transformations, such as UTF-8). The height of a character is defined by the font used to render it. Although obviously various fonts will adhere to convention (mostly), that doesn't mean that the tallest character in one font will necessarily be the tallest in another.
