We were not talking about UTF-whatever. We were talking about wchar_t or more precisely std::u16sting. You can store 16 bit characters in the latter as well as UTF-16-seqences in this. We were talking about that you can almost rely on the fact that wchar_t is 16 bits wide. There might be ancient CPU-architectures where the re- gisters aren't 8, 16, ... bits wide but you can be certain that no one would implement a conforming C++-compiler for these systems.
