I.e. 10646 'c' does not have the same numeric >value as ASCII 'c'. It is very strange that international character code standard is affected by C standard. If C standard want (wchar_t)'c' == 'c', They can do so simply by ignoring 10646. Currently, C standard has nothing to do with 10646. If C standard want to incorporate 10646, it may: 1) define standard way to convert 10646 to wchar_t or 2) loosen the requirement of wchar_t and provide conversion functions or macros (such as isascii()) or 3) introduce a new character type (say, is10646char_t :-) ) whose semantics strictly follows 10646 with appropriate conversion functions or macros Masataka Ohta
