And that would still not be "char", but "codepoint"

A char can be composed of several combining code points (each of them afaik, in the 32 bit range). So a char can have 96 or more bits. (And not all of them have a combined form).
Unfortunately in Delphi and FPC the appropriate work-alike existing type is called Char (with certain extensions). It would cause major problems to drop that name for something else, even if that would be appropriate.
