wchar_t is not a char. It is an unsigned short.

===================
Windows 2000
CYGWIN_NT-5.0
GNU gcc/++ 2.95.3-5
===================
wchar_t wch1 = 65;
Why does 'cout << wch1' print '65' (but not 'A') ?
====== C++ code : BEGIN ======
// File main.cpp
#include <wchar.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
wchar_t wch1;
char ch1;
wch1 = 65;
ch1 = 65;
cout << wch1 << endl;
cout << wchar_t (wch1) << endl;
cout << ch1 << endl;
return 0;
}
====== C++ code : END ========
====== Compiling & Running : BEGIN ======
% g++ main.cpp
% a.exe
65
65
A
====== Compiling & Running : END ========
