   cursor position. This would often get fixed after the fix item submission, but using the
   ImGuiListClipper as the first thing after Begin() could largely break size calculations. (#3073)
 - Added optional support for Unicode plane 1-16 (#2538, #2541, #2815) [@cloudwu, @samhocevar]
-  - Compile-time enable with '#define ImWchar ImWchar32' in imconfig.h.
+  - Compile-time enable with '#define IMGUI_USE_WCHAR32' in imconfig.h.
   - Generally more consistent support for unsupported codepoints (0xFFFD), in particular when
     using the default, non-fitting characters will be turned into 0xFFFD instead of being ignored.
   - Surrogate pairs are supported when submitting UTF-16 data via io.AddInputCharacterUTF16(),
