Title: WideChar
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | A variable of type **WideChar**, which has a synonym of [[UnicodeChar]] *(type UnicodeChar = WideChar;)* , is exactly 2 bytes in size, and usually contains one Unicode character in UTF-16 encoding. As it is impossible to encode all Unicode code points (a code point normally corresponds to a character) in 2 bytes, two WideChars may be needed to encode a single code point. | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | As of version 3 of Free Pascal, the [[Char]] datatype is a synonym for an [[AnsiChar]]. However, in the future the Free Pascal compiler may consider Char a synonym for WideChar. | |
