Could you please substantiate that? My understanding is that code unit is a higher-level Unicode notion independent of encoding, whereas code point is an encoding-dependent representation detail. -- Andrei
You got the terms mixed up. Code unit is lower level. Code point is higher level.
One code point is encoded with one or more code units. char is a UTF-8 code unit. wchar is a UTF-16 code unit. dchar is both a UTF-32 code unit and a code point, because in UTF-32 it's a 1-to-1 relation.
