C++ char32_t Keyword
Example
Store a 32-bit character and print its number:
char32_t myLetter = U'B';
cout << static_cast<int>(myLetter);Definition and Usage
The char32_t keyword is a data type that stores a 32-bit character. It is used for UTF-32 text (a way to store each character from all languages as one 32-bit number).
Write a char32_t value with a capital U in front, like U'B'.
cout cannot print a char32_t as a character, and newer versions of C++ do not allow it at all. So change it to an int first. This prints the number of the character, which is 66 for B.
