What's wrong is the assumption that wchar_t corresponds to a complete unicode character. On windows, two wchar_t (code units) may me combined to encode a unicode character outside of the BMP.

Without investigating further, I note that Java adds methods with an 'int' argument to the Character utility class to handle code points, vs the original 'char' that represents a code unit. (unlike C, an int is always 32-bit in Java).
