Asking a line oriented tool to not be line oriented is tough, but if you know it is continued, say because of an escape character, why not read again and concatenate?

FWIDE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual FWIDE(3)
NAME
fwide - set and determine the orientation of a FILE stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
int fwide(FILE *stream, int mode);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
fwide():
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
DESCRIPTION
When mode is zero, the fwide() function determines the current orientation of stream. It returns a positive value if stream is wide-char-
acter oriented, that is, if wide-character I/O is permitted but char I/O is disallowed. It returns a negative value if stream is byte ori-
ented--that is, if char I/O is permitted but wide-character I/O is disallowed. It returns zero if stream has no orientation yet; in this
case the next I/O operation might change the orientation (to byte oriented if it is a char I/O operation, or to wide-character oriented if
it is a wide-character I/O operation).
Once a stream has an orientation, it cannot be changed and persists until the stream is closed.
When mode is nonzero, the fwide() function first attempts to set stream's orientation (to wide-character oriented if mode is greater than
0, or to byte oriented if mode is less than 0). It then returns a value denoting the current orientation, as above.
RETURN VALUE
The fwide() function returns the stream's orientation, after possibly changing it. A positive return value means wide-character oriented.
A negative return value means byte oriented. A return value of zero means undecided.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.
NOTES
Wide-character output to a byte oriented stream can be performed through the fprintf(3) function with the %lc and %ls directives.
Char oriented output to a wide-character oriented stream can be performed through the fwprintf(3) function with the %c and %s directives.
