A unicode character is clearly not 64-bits - as you so pointed out in your initial post.
7 Bits, initial set.
Two complements signed integer. All positive values are used for the initial set.
8 bit, extended set.
Unsigned integer allowing the use of all values.
256 integral values represented. However, 0 is reserved as a null terminator. 255 possible values. More generally 2K-1.
I point to MSDN because its a credible source. Its not editable by anyone out there.
If you want, I can direct you to the java language where they use unicode as the primitive character type - which is clearly not 64-bit.
Assumptions. Perhaps I dont know everything, but you've demonstrated your lack of knowledge about the subject. Furthermore, when intending to insult someone, you may want to use the English language a bit more appropriately, otherwise it just looks bad on your part.

Whilst I think MaxOff wasn't exactly very polite, criticizing someone's english when it isn't his first language isn't appropriate either.
