By the way, contemporary Linux, or any Linux for that matter, is normally part of a GNU / Linux system and in that case wchar_t is always 32 bits wide, UCS-4 encoding. UTF-16 doesn't play an important role. See the glibc docs for further information. Our implementation, if sync_with_stdio(false) is called, is perfectly able to convert back and forth from an internal wchar_t (UCS-4) encoding to an external char (UTF-8) encoding, via the delivered codecvt facet. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37298
