Description Dennis 2020-01-03 16:52:39 UTC 
```
void main() {
    static assert(is(int:dchar));
    int a = 1114112;
    dchar b = a;
    dchar c = 1114112;
}
```

On variable c it says Error: cannot implicitly convert expression 1114112 of type int to dchar. The value is above `dchar.max`, but since `is(int:dchar)` the error "cannot implicitly convert" is false.

Comment 1 Dominikus Dittes Scherkl 2020-01-04 15:40:15 UTC 
dchar is designed to contain unicode values, which are limited to the range 0x00000000 to 0x0010FFFF == 1114111, so the given literal is outside this range.
