Tag value 2 used to be CONSTANT_Unicode in Java 1.0. Since there

is also a CONSTANT_Utf8, I guess they decided to drop CONSTANT_Unicode
for simplicity when they came out with the JVM spec, so its meaning is
now undefined. I suppose it would be a good idea to include an entry
for 2 saying "reserved" or something like that.
