IIRC, char16 was deleted in 6.4 or maybe earlier (along with the other
special "charN" type names).  "char(16)" is the accepted spelling now.

A quick glimpse shows an awful lot of appearances of "char16"
in the contrib area, as well as the tutorial and some residual
uses in the documentation.  Sigh.  I guess that stuff is not
exercised as regularly as it oughta be.

Do you want to contribute a patch to make the tutorial work again?
