Re: [9fans] awk, not utf aware...

[Pietro Gagliardi]

And it's wonderful that the C standard defines a character literal as  
so:

        char-literal:
                ' characters '
        characters:
                character
                characters character
(or something like that)

Question, then: why do we need wchar_t/Rune?

Plan 9 awk is an APE program, so it uses the unpronounceable ANSI
mbtowc/wctomb functions to deal with UTF.  Thus it uses mblen rather
than utflen or utf8len.
