mbstowcs(3int)mbstowcs(3int)Name
mbstowcs - converts a sequence of multibyte characters into a sequence of characters of type wchar_t.
Syntax
#include <stdlib.h>)
size_t mbstowcs (pwcs, s, n)
wchar_t *pwcs;
const char *s;
size_t n;
Arguments
pwcs The pwcs argument is a pointer to the resulting wide character string.
s The s argument is a pointer to the multibyte character sequence.
n The n argument is the maximum number of resulting wide characters stored in pwcs.
Description
The function converts a sequence of multibyte characters from the array pointed to by s into a sequence of characters of type wchar_t, and
stores not more than n characters into the array pointed to by pwcs. No multibyte characters that follow a null character (which is con-
verted into a code with value zero) are examined or converted. No more than n elements are modified in the array pointed to by pwcs. This
function is affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
Return Values
If an invalid multibyte character is encountered, the function returns (size_t) -1. Otherwise, the function returns the number of array
elements modified, not including a terminating null character, if any. The array will not be null-terminated if the value returned is n.

MBSTOWCS(3) BSD Library Functions Manual MBSTOWCS(3)NAME
mbstowcs, mbstowcs_l -- convert a character string to a wide-character string
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
size_t
mbstowcs(wchar_t *restrict pwcs, const char *restrict s, size_t n);
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <xlocale.h>
size_t
mbstowcs_l(wchar_t *restrict pwcs, const char *restrict s, size_t n, locale_t loc);
DESCRIPTION
The mbstowcs() function converts a multibyte character string s, beginning in the initial conversion state, into a wide character string
pwcs. No more than n wide characters are stored. A terminating null wide character is appended, if there is room.
Although the mbstowcs() function uses the current locale, the mbstowcs_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more
information.
RETURN VALUES
The mbstowcs() function returns the number of wide characters converted, not counting any terminating null wide character, or -1 if an
invalid multibyte character was encountered.
ERRORS
The mbstowcs() function will fail if:
[EILSEQ] An invalid multibyte sequence was detected.
[EINVAL] The conversion state is invalid.

The mbstowcs() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').

I am comparing two multibyte characters in two different platforms having different LC_CTYPE variables, they are returning different values.
One of the variable is sigma initialised to "\317\203"

Below is the scenario of the two platforms:
