Yes. I'm too lazy to pick up my copy of the standard.

And it's wonderful that the C standard defines a character literal as
so:

        char-literal:
                ' characters '
        characters:
                character
                characters character

(or something like that)

Question, then: why do we need wchar_t/Rune?

The definitions are (<> used to indicate non-terminals in the
grammar...):

(6.4.4.4) character-constant:
        ' <c-char-sequence> '
        L' <c-char-sequence> '

(6.4.4.4) c-char-sequence:
        <c-char>
        <c-char-sequence> <c-char>

(6.4.4.4) c-char:
        any member of the source character set except the single-quote ',
backslash \, or new-line character

        <escape-sequence>
