That quotation comes from section 5.2 of the Unicode standard (in the current 4.1 version), and it is about the "wchar_t" data type in C. If/when the Perl-to-C interface includes conversions from (say) utf8 Perl strings to C wchar_t*, this detail would need to be taken into account.
I don't actually know whether XS covers conversion from SV to wchar_t at present, but I believe this is not relevant to the SV-to-char* issue being discussed in this thread.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
