16 On Windows and 32-bit AIX platforms, @code{wchar_t} is a 16-bit type and
17 therefore cannot accommodate all Unicode characters.
18 However, the Gnulib function @code{c32stombs}, provided by Gnulib module
19 @code{c32stombs}, operates on 32-bit wide characters and therefore does not
20 have this limitation.
