UNICODE is what language like java supports which is 2bytes long unlike C (1 byte).

The question says, it can store, meaning, some characters in UNICODE which needs 1 byte of storage can be stored absolutely without any loss of data.

C doesnt supports UNICODE and how can a 8 bit value store a 16 bit value ?

Sometimes char is treated as int then how can a char only stores the above 2?

By Default char is 8 bit . ANSI C states sizeof(char) < sizeof(short) < sizeof(long)
Unicode is 16 bit. ASCII is 8 bit. char must be 8 bit..
unicode needs wchars...

Unicode character is 16 bit.
So how can a 8 bit character type hold Unicode??
