As POSIX says: "wchar_t Integer type whose range of values can represent distinct wide-character codes for all members of the largest character set specified among the locales supported by the compilation environment: the null character has the code value 0 and each member of the portable character set has a code value equal to its value when used as the lone character in an integer character constant." It supposes that wchar_t _may_ be locale-specific so treating it as Unicode in all cases is plain wrong. -- Andrey A.
