Hello, i have an unicode related question.
Is the wxString class aware of of the fact that unicode requires more than 2 bytes? I do not think so, so why does the docu say, wxString can be used for unicode?
Codepoints since 2001 do need at least 3 bytes (ok 4;) ).
What do you think, have i overlooked something?

The bytes needed depends on the encoding. Not all encodings support all codepoints. I'm unsure what encoding wxString uses internally.

Yes, but the continuous 16 Bit isn't enough. And i fear wxString just uses this for Windows. So it must at least be UTF16 but i do not think that
