In my mind, wide character means in the encoding scheme, each
character is encoded with the same number of bytes (compared with
encoding technology which uses various number of bytes to encode a
character). I have also made some references that it seems that wide
character is the same as unicode (both are using 4 bytes to encode a
character). Is that correct?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_character states "Wide character is a
computer programming term. It is a vague term used to represent a datatype
that is richer than the traditional 8-bit characters. It is not the same
thing as Unicode."
