+On Windows and 32-bit AIX platforms, @code{wchar_t} is a 16-bit type and
+therefore cannot accommodate all Unicode characters.
+However, the Gnulib function @code{mbsnrtoc32s}, provided by Gnulib module
+@code{mbsnrtoc32s}, operates on 32-bit wide characters and therefore does not
+have this limitation.
@item
The specification is not clear about whether this function should update the
conversion state when the first argument (the destination pointer) is NULL.
