how would one go about making a UTF-8 aware (or supported) program in C?
a month ago by BlackRoseAmongThorns to c/c_lang
I don't have an example or goal to work with, this is mostly a hypothetical for learning purposes.
Besides some basics for how to handle UTF-8 strings in general (as one can glean from other languages' documentation), what types/libraries/documentation exists for handling UTF-8 text in C?
Never done this, so did some research. Hope this helps put you on the right track!

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

You could use GLib which has a
gunichartype and a bunch of functions for operating on themsave
