TCP/UDP & Message Boundaries

How does UDP manage to preserve message boundaries? I am guessing that UDP can preserve messages boundaries because UDP doesn't care about the RWND/CWND or congestion when it transmits the data, Right?

Lastly, my understanding is that: TCP data get segmented at L4 within the buffer according to many variables such as RWND, CWND, additional mechanisms, and etc. UDP data also get segmented from the Hard. I am wondering according to which variables, does UDP data get segmented and become a datagram?
