Jean-Marc,

Of course I RTFM first.  I said I was a newbie to Ada, not a jerk. (lol)
Below is the entire section on Wide Text Input-Output(A.11) from the RM.
It is not very useful, IMHO.  Frankly, I thought there would be more
after hearing of Ada's robust language definition.  Now I'm not so sure.

Apparently this is not the trivial problem I thought it was.  As a Ada
newbie it makes me wonder about Ada's capabilities for program
internationalization.  In our internet age that is important.

A.11 Wide Text Input-Output

The package Wide_Text_IO provides facilities for input and output in
human-readable form. Each file is read or written sequentially, as a
sequence of wide characters grouped into lines, and as a sequence of
lines grouped into pages. 

                                Static Semantics

The specification of package Wide_Text_IO is the same as that for
Text_IO, except that in each Get,
Look_Ahead, Get_Immediate, Get_Line, Put, and Put_Line procedure, any
occurrence of Character is replaced by Wide_Character, and any
occurrence of String is replaced by Wide_String. 

Nongeneric equivalents of Wide_Text_IO.Integer_IO and
Wide_Text_IO.Float_IO are provided (as for Text_IO) for each predefined
numeric type, with names such as Ada.Integer_Wide_Text_IO,
Ada.Long_Integer_Wide_Text_IO, Ada.Float_Wide_Text_IO,
Ada.Long_Float_Wide_Text_IO.
