{{DISPLAYTITLE:wchar_t}}

C++ '''wchar_t''' is the character type that represents the largest character set that can potentially be used in the specific architecture. It is not simply due to the number of bits that a processor can operate on, but also on the native character set of the operating system. In Windows '''wchar_t''' will be 16 bits even on a 64 bit machine.

Character literal must use single quotes preceding with the letter L (For example <code>L'貓'</code>). In the event if the architecture cannot handle the specific character within a single '''wchar_t''' the result is implementation defined.

==Other C++ data types storing symbols==
* [[char (C++)|char]] no less than 8 bits, one byte.
* [[char16_t]] no less than 16 bits, no less than char
* [[char32_t]] no less than 32 bits, no less than char16_t
