How so?

You fail to explain how it does anything other than what the standard tells 
you it does.

Please give a code example of this flaw.

If you are using a UTF16LE path, casting it to const char *, and passing it as 
an argument to ifstream, then it is no wonder you're not getting the results 
you expect.
