achenle - unicode or utf-16 or whatever else - have been around for a long time. They are not considered 'char' in C, they are wchar, wide characters, a different datatype. This datatype affects file orientation, which is the primary way reads & writes occur on tyy/file/device(s). wchar are NOT char, by definition and practice

try man wchar

And there still are embedded systems with 32 bit char.

wchar.h

wchar.h(3HEAD)							      Headers							    wchar.h(3HEAD)

NAME

       wchar.h, wchar - wide-character handling

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The <wchar.h> header defines the following types:

       wchar_t	       As described in <stddef.h>.

       wint_t	       An integer type capable of storing any valid value of wchar_t or WEOF.

       wctype_t        A scalar type of a data object that can hold values which represent locale-specific character classification.

       mbstate_t       An  object  type  other	than  an  array  type  that can hold the conversion state information necessary to convert between
		       sequences of (possibly multi-byte) characters and wide characters.  If a codeset is being  used	such  that   an  mbstate_t
		       needs to preserve more than two levels of reserved state, the results are unspecified.

       FILE	       As described in <stdio.h>.

       size_t	       As described in <stddef.h>.

       va_list	       As described in <stdarg.h>.

       The  implementation  supports  one or more programming environments in which the width of wint_t is no greater than the width of type long.
       The names of these programming environments can be obtained using the confstr(3C) function or the getconf(1) utility.

       The <wchar.h> header defines the following macros:

       WCHAR_MAX       The maximum value representable by an object of type wchar_t.

       WCHAR_MIN       The minimum value representable by an object of type wchar_t.

       WEOF	       Constant expression of type wint_t that is returned by several WP functions to indicate end-of-file.

       NULL	       As described in <stddef.h>.

       The tag tm is declared as naming an incomplete structure type, the contents of which are described in the header <time.h>.

       Inclusion of the <wchar.h> header can make visible all symbols from the headers <ctype.h>,  <string.h>, <stdarg.h>, <stddef.h>,	<stdio.h>,
       <stdlib.h>, and <time.h>.
