I think there is almost certainly some encoding conversion to do here,
rather than just forcing characters into different bytes. There's more
to a encoding than how bit its bytes are, or whether they are multibyte.
If it was me, I would want to know what encoding the library uses, and
whether that encoding can support the locales that I want.
