Dmitry Potapov:
The C Standard requires that the type wchar_t is capable of representing any character in the current locale. If Windows uses UTF-16 as internal encoding (so, it can work with symbols outside of the BMP), it means you cannot have 16-bit wchar_t and be compliant with the C standard...
No, that's not quite correct. wchar_t is defined to be "an integer type whose range of values can represent distinct codes for all members of the largest extended character set specified among the supported locales". Since Windows defines all local character sets as Unicode-based, having wchar_t defined as Unicode means that it can represent everything.
