There is no standard--that's why it's specified as wchar_t. I'd say either unsigned short or unsigned long would be you best option, depending on whether you need support for two-byte or four-byte glyphs respectively. > > And I then ask: > > Can you forgive me for not waiting for a copy of the standard...;-) At US$65 per copy, yes, I can forgive you.

Two quick questions... I found that wchar_t on some systems is: typedef unsigned char wchar_t; while on others it is: typedef unsigned int wchar_t; and according to the (supposedly) ANSI C dictionary in the library: example: typedef wchar_t int; which is obviously an incorrect typedef (should be 'typedef int wchar_t'). As I don't have a copy of the standard I first ask: Which ones is standard? And I then ask: Can you forgive me for not waiting for a copy of the standard...;-)

Apart from the obviously syntactically-incorrect one, the answer is "all of them".
