wchar_t

suggest change

An integer type large enough to represent all characters of the largest supported extended character set, also known as the wide-character set. (It is not portable to make the assumption that wchar_t uses any particular encoding, such as UTF-16.)

It is normally used when you need to store characters over ASCII 255 , as it has a greater size than the character type char.

const wchar_t message_ahmaric[] = L"ሰላም ልዑል\n";         // Ahmaric for "hello, world\n"
const wchar_t message_chinese[] = L"你好，世界\n";        // Chinese for "hello, world\n"
const wchar_t message_hebrew[]  = L"שלום עולם\n";       // Hebrew for "hello, world\n"
const wchar_t message_russian[] = L"Привет мир\n";       // Russian for "hello, world\n"
const wchar_t message_tamil[]   = L"ஹலோ உலகம்\n"; // Tamil for "hello, world\n"
