For the compiler we use -fshort-wchar.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19489354/how-to-set-2-byte-wchar-t-output/23896853

discusses the warning. It can be suppressed with a linker flag.

The best thing to do would be to replace all L"" constants by u""
constants and eliminate -fshort-wchar from our compiler flags.

This requires C11 which we already use since 2018.

Best regards
