As specified by the C and C++ standards, wchar_t is largely useless.
I would recommend avoiding it at all costs.
As another data point in support of that, we're trying to slowly weed
it out of the Chromium/Chrome source base in favor of explicitly-
specified UTF-16 strings. The incompatibility in size of wchar_t is a
big mess when you're writing cross-platform code, especially when it
has to interact with other APIs like ICU that are more specific about
character widths.
Annoyingly, though, there is no language support for C-string literals
of types other than char or wchar_t.
