We're using curses on Solaris 8.
Which appears to support EUC only.

int euc = wgetwch() gets a character of input and addwch(c) displays a
character.

I need the data as Unicode.
Specifically, UCS-2.
[UCS-4 also works.]
I'd even settle for UTF-8 (I've got UTF conversion routines).

How do I reliably transform EUC<->Unicode?

Locale settings don't help.
Looks like Sun (others?) encode EUC from the keyboard as a 4-byte
value where c & 0x30000000 == code set (see csetno() definition in
Sun's header).

Only problem is, they don't say what code set 0, 1, 2 or 3 really is.
Looks like CS1 == JIS-X-0208
Yes?
What about the rest?

And that's fine for input.
For output, I've got a Unicode character like 0x30A1 (lower case
katakana a) -- how do I make that a valid EUC character curses will
recognize?

Help!
