The article does not explain why System.UInt16 is blittable while System.Char is not.

Origin of Blittable

What is the etymology of the term blittable? Bit blit seems to refer to graphics applications, so Block-transfer instruction seems most likely. —Ost (talk) 15:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If we can confirm this then we should add it to the article. I wanted to know too (which is why I checked talk). RJFJR (talk) 14:57, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
