**OR** it could have a 16-bit wchar_t and not claim to support Unicode
as its wide character set. An implementation with 16-bit wchar_t that
supports only the BMP as its wide character set could be conforming
(though not as usesful as an implementation that supports full Unicode).
But Microsoft's own documentation says:
The wchar_t type is an implementation-defined wide character
type. In the Microsoft compiler, it represents a 16-bit wide
character used to store Unicode encoded as UTF-16LE, the native
character type on Windows operating systems. The wide character
versions of the Universal C Runtime (UCRT) library functions
use wchar_t and its pointer and array types as parameters and
return values, as do the wide character versions of the native
Windows API.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/char-wchar-t-char16-t-char32-t?view=vs-2019
which I believe is non-conforming.
(But I'm not sure how Microsoft could have fixed this without breaking
too much existing code.)
