Re: Why can't D store all UTF-8 code units in char type? (not really understanding explanation)

[rikki cattermole via Digitalmars-d-learn]

char is always UTF-8 codepoint and therefore exactly 1 byte.
wchar is always UTF-16 codepoint and therefore exactly 2 bytes.

dchar is always UTF-32 codepoint and therefore exactly 4 bytes;

'Ğ' has the value U+011E which is a lot larger than what 1 byte can 
hold. You need 2 chars or 1 wchar/dchar.
