 The extended version of CHAR is **WCHAR** (wide-character), which has a 2-byte length but can be used more broadly with its (**UNICODE**) //UCS-2// mapping. Up to 65,535 character mappings can be encoded with 16 bits; UNICODE does not fully utilize this range. The extended version of CHAR is **WCHAR** (wide-character), which has a 2-byte length but can be used more broadly with its (**UNICODE**) //UCS-2// mapping.
