You will not handled UTF-8 internally.
UTF-8 is normally meant to be the external representation of UCS2 or
UCS4. Once you load a text you use iconv() or mbsrtowcs() function to
convert to UCS4 which then can be used internally just like 8bit
strings. All the functions are in place. In glibc 2.2 there will
finaly be the possibility to use wide-char streams so that you would
not even have to to the conversion yourself. Simply use fgetws or
whatever you want to use and it'll work.
