Is "case-insensitive file system" a good example?  For one thing, NTFS
is a case-sensitive filesystem, and only the Win32 API and the default
NT kernel setting in the registry enforces case-insensitivity.  See
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive

What about the OS consequently using UTF-16 as an example?

I don't know if it actually helps to give a specific example here. The meaning is plain enough without one.

Shouldn't that be a 3 here?

I don't think so. This is a cross-reference to intro.1 in the SEE ALSO section of intro.3
