achenle - unicode or utf-16 or whatever else - have been around for a long time. They are not considered 'char' in C, they are wchar, wide characters, a different datatype. This datatype affects file orientation, which is the primary way reads & writes occur on tyy/file/device(s). wchar are NOT char, by definition and practice
try man wchar
And there still are embedded systems with 32 bit char.

wctomb
wctomb(3int) wctomb(3int)
Name
wctomb - converts a character of type wchar_t to a multibyte character.
Syntax
#include <stdlib.h>
int wctomb (s, wchar)
char *s;
wchar_t wchar;
Arguments
s The s argument is a pointer to the resulting multibyte character object.
wchar The wchar argument is a value of type wchar_t.
Description
The function determines the number of bytes needed to represent the multibyte character corresponding to the character code of type wchar_t
whose value is wchar. It stores the multibyte character representation in the array object pointed to by s (if s is not a null pointer).
At most MB_CUR_MAX characters are stored. This function is affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
Return Value
If s is a null pointer, the function returns a zero value. If s is not a null pointer, the function returns:
o - -1, if the value of wchar does not correspond to a valid multibye character
o The number of bytes that comprise the multibyte character corresponding to the value of wchar. In no case is the value returned
greater than the value of the MB_CUR_MAX macro.
