UTF-16 replaces it. You need to deal with surrogate pairs to print the correct codepoint value for unicode. Now this is WAY non portable because some implementations of wchar_t are UCS-4 and some are UTF-16. [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

Now this is WAY non portable because some implementations of wchar_t are UCS-4 and some are UTF-16. Even worse, there are still compilers around where wchar_t is not based on Unicode at all. If portability really matters, the only way to get Unicode character constants is with numeric constants.
