wchar_t is not really supported by avr-libc. However even in embedded electronics there are sometimes cases were working with wide chars becomes necessary. To make this easier the C standard specifies a wchar.h header which provides wide variants of many other function specified in the standard library like strlen and printf

There's at least one problem though. AVR-LibC's printf-like functions recognize %S as an ordinary string located in flash, as opposed to the standard that uses %S to specify wide strings.
