ANSI 2.2.1.2 Shift states for multibyte characters
Multibyte characters are used by some implementations, including Microsoft C, to represent foreign-language characters not represented in the base character set. However, Microsoft C does not support any state-dependent encodings. Therefore, there are no shift states. See Multibyte and Wide Characters for more information.
