The sad thing is that the man pages don't mention that OpenBSD's libc

doesn't quite support locale, multibyte/wide char conversions thus

Unicode.
E.g. if you look at mbstowcs(3) you'd say: okay, I can use that... but

looking at the code behind it you'll see its a pure stab that does a

simple memcpy from chars to ints (or wchar_ts as they modernly call it

in C99).
