In http://www.digitalmars.com/d/expression.html#CharacterLiteral you write:

"Character literals are single characters and resolve to one of type char,
wchar, or dchar. If the literal is a \u escape sequence, it resolves to type
wchar. If the literal is a \U escape sequence, it resolves to type dchar.
Otherwise, it resolves to the type with the smallest size it will fit into."

Which type does a character literal with an HTML entity have (e.g. '\&xyz;')?

Please clarify if this correct:

uint c;
// statements ...
if (c < 128)
  // c is char
else if(c <= 0xFFFF)
  // c is wchar
else
  // c is dchar
