Given that the C strings passed to these functions will more often than
not be embedded in the source code, it seems to me that it's a mistake
assume that they are encoded in the current locale. The current locale
is normally the locale of the user, which may be different from the
locale that the source code is written in.
Maybe utf8 is a better choice?
Best,
