Hi,

I'm attempting to print a UTF-8 encoded character to the screen in a
Unicode-capable terminal:

    #include <slang.h>
    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
      SLtt_get_terminfo();
      SLang_init_tty(-1, 1, 0);
      SLsmg_init_smg();

      SLutf8_enable(-1);

      SLsmg_cls();
      SLsmg_gotorc(0, 0);
      SLsmg_write_string("黑\n");
      SLsmg_write_nchars("黑", 1);
      SLsmg_gotorc(5, 0);
      SLsmg_refresh();
      SLang_getkey();

      SLsmg_reset_smg();
      SLang_reset_tty();
      return 0;
    }

Instead of printing two 黑 characters separated by a newline, all I see is:

    é»<91>é

The bytes written to the screen are: 0x c3a9 c2bb 3c39 313e c3a9

My terminal, Terminal.app on Mac OS X, definitely supports unicode,
and other applications (Emacs, Vim) have no trouble. The source code
is UTF-8 encoded and xxd confirms it. I've tried replacing the string
with "\xe9\xbb\x91" and I've tried changing my TERM and LC_ALL env
variables.

I've tried changing the parameter of SLutf8_enable(). I've tried
setting SLsmg_Display_Eight_Bit to 128, but that simply prints "é»é".
By default, SLsmg_Display_Eight_Bit is 160.

Any help would be appreciated.
