`------------------------------------------
Somebody could think that UTF-16 is a valid string representation in memory, having the char size = 1 byte (see a [discussion](https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.forth/c/I9wLcc7Io-w/m/6aqoT3y_AgAJ)/[raw message](https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=comp.lang.forth/I9wLcc7Io-w/6aqoT3y_AgAJ) in comp.lang.forth).

This test case ensures that `C,` stores a primitive character (a code unit).

```
T{ ALIGN HERE CHAR A C, CHAR B C, CHAR C C, 3 S" ABC" COMPARE -> 0 } 
```

The test that many systems  fail:

```
T{ :NONAME 1 [COMPILE] EXIT 2 ; EXECUTE -> 1 }T
```

<br/>

Definitely, `[COMPILE]` should be excluded, but not due to this test fails in some systems. There are other critical points.

See also a [discussion](https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.forth/c/DqKOXm5BJo0/m/5L6IVp8WAQAJ)/[raw message](https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=comp.lang.forth/DqKOXm5BJo0/5L6IVp8WAQAJ/) in comp.lang.forth.
