Nah. As I said, it works on the much newer version of iconv provided
by Arch Linux.

The GNU C Library contains three separate and distinct methods for
converting multi-byte character sequences:

You are obviously fucking up somewhere in this scheme.

Dost thou accuseth me of up-fucking?  :-D

Since you are using iconv, which falls under Unix XPG2, I suggest
that you consult the example in section 6.5 of GLIB manual:

LC_TYPE does not apply to the situation I described.
Nor do wide-characters.

Of course I will have more work when I run this code on Windows.

In any case, I thank you for your input.
