+
+bugprone-unintended-char-ostream-output
+=======================================
+
+Finds unintended character output from `unsigned char` and `signed char` to an
+``ostream``.
+
+Normally, when ``unsigned char (uint8_t)`` or ``signed char (int8_t)`` is used, it
+is more likely a number than a character. However, when it is passed directly to
+``std::ostream``'s ``operator<<``, resulting in character-based output instead
+of numeric value. This often contradicts the developer's intent to print
+integer values.
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ uint8_t v = 9;
+ std::cout << v; // output '\t' instead of '9'
+
+It could be fixed as
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ std::cout << (uint32_t)v;
+
+Or cast to char to explicitly indicate the intent
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ std::cout << (char)v;
