How about these separate functions

ucs-insert-hex
ucs-insert-standard

as customization choices for ucs-insert?  Obviously one will call the
other, but the name will clearly tell the user what he's calling.  The
confusion will mostly happen the first time he uses the wrong input, at
which time the user will check the docs and understand the choices.
