Nick> testing applications for POSIX compliance

Sorry but what do you mean by "POSIX compliance"? The POSIX standard only 
specify the ASCII encoding.

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap07.html
"The tables in Locale Definition describe the characteristics and behavior of 
the POSIX locale for data consisting entirely of characters from the portable 
character set and the control character set. For other characters, the behavior 
is unspecified. For C-language programs, the POSIX locale shall be the default 
locale when the setlocale() function is not called."

"Portable character set" = ASCII
