Oops, sorry. I hadn't read the standard, and so I didn't know that.
(Probably shouldn't have answered William's question in that case.)
But won't this approach fail as soon as we hit a 0x00 byte (i.e. the high 8
bits of any Latin-1 character)?
Also, Addison's response is correct that wchar_t is not going to be natively
