No, it won't include Unicode, because it very clearly says "C locale"
right up there.
The problem is, it is *not possible* to extract the set of characters
out of an arbitrary locale. The locale interfaces simply are not built
to allow it.
You can do it in the C locale, simply because the C locale is a known,
fixed quantity that you can hard-code. You can't do it in any other locale.
