I think you mean UTF-16, and it doesn't. XMLCh is specifically UTF-16. But
wchar_t is not UTF-16 everywhere. It's non-portable, and Solaris and Linux
each use different (including from each other) encodings for wchar_t.

There's actually a gcc option to make wchar_t the same as on Windows, it was
created for Wine. I'm not brave enough to rely on it.

No, probably you do. But only where you need it. I guess I don't need it all
that many places, certainly not enough to pay for transcoding all over.
