Hm, that's my question -- how is this the right thing?
Umlaut u turns up as 0xFC for UTF-8 users; 0xDCFC, for Latin-1 users.
This is an ordinary hello world type program, can't think of any
unique environmental issues.
- So should we routinely run argv through a high-byte stripper?
- I should learn to appreciate the high 0xDC00 byte, because it
serves some purpose I wasn't aware of?
- Am I somehow messing myself up, and this doesn't normally happen?
- Or is the base library really not quite right here?
Just curious, mind you!
