The effects of placing a universal-character-name in a narrow
character literal (without the L in front) are implementation-
defined, you better ask in 'microsoft.publ ic.vc.language' . As to
warnings, none required since this is not ill-formed.
I would venture a guess that you need L there to be "correct",
since that makes the character literal to have the type 'wchar_t',
which is what you declare 'ch2'. Without the L, the type of the
character literal is 'char', and how it gets converted into the
'wchar_t' for 'ch' is implementation-defined.

27BA is 10170.
'\u27BA' being of type char, it can't be greater than 255, assuming 8-
bit bytes. So it can't contain 10170.
L'\u27BA' being of type whar_t, which is on all implementations I know
at least 16 bits, it can contain 10170.
Therefore the correct one is the first one.

Actually, it's implementation-defined. The standard only guarantees
that the upper value is no less than 127, however (IOW, the char is
at least 8-bits). On a PC 'chars' are 8-bit and ususally signed, so
they cannot contain any values above 127...

But the type of '\u27BA' is char. So the resulting value must
be in the range CHAR_MIN...CHAR _MAX; by default, with VC++,
-128...127 (but if the /J option is given, 0...255).
The reason he's seeing different values is precisely because the
type of '\u27BA' is char, but the type of L'\u27BA' is wchar_t,
in which the value fits.

Nothing precludes \u27BA from fitting in a char. While it is
true of Visual Studio he is using, it's not required by the
language. The 27BA is just a particular ISO character nothing
precludes it from being a valid value in the execution character
set (just not allowed to be part of the basic execution character
set).

Nothing says that \uXXXX maps directly into a character value. The
number after the u is an ISO 10646 (practically unicode) value. Do
not assume the execution character set is ASCII.

Sorry. Somehow I missed the '\u' in there.
(All I seemed to see was '27BA is 10170'.)
Like: Who put that '\u' in there *after* I read the line? <G>
