You need to use a locale that defines a meaning to this byte. The default
(ASCII) locale doesn't.

You don't use a non-default locale without calling setlocale.

Thats wrong, 'locale charmap' gives 'ANSI_X3.4-1968' and there lies the
problem, the charmap for the 'C' locale should probable be ISO-8896-1.
To be more accurate it should be the charmap that is used by system
calls (e.g. readdir and readlink).

If you want something else than the C locale you must use setlocale.

Please ignore comment 2, the problem is not the locale in use but the charmap
of the C locale.

The charmap for the C locale should definitely not be ISO-8859-anything. All
that does is encourage broken, non-portable program behavior. If you are going
to use mbrtowc and family and intend to process characters not in the portable
character set, you MUST call setlocale for the LC_CTYPE category.
The system calls you referred to (e.g. readdir and readlink) do not use any
character map. They process bytes. In any case, if you wanted the C locale to
match the filesystem's encoding, it would have to be UTF-8, not ISO-8859-1, at
least on any modern system, and I'm pretty sure that's not what you want since
you seem to be advocating for very backwards behavior...

The charmap for the C locale is ANSI. Just use an appropriate locale as you
have been told several times already.
