Is wc handling different character encodings?  I tried this on a file
with UTF-8 encoding, and it seem to ignore the charcter set:

  % LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 wc -c quanta.po
     41717 quanta.po
  % LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 wc -c quanta.po
     41717 quanta.po
  %

It would be very nice if wc counted characters, not bytes.
