Possible multibyte issue do to missing check for 'utf8' in the source code

[Jim <linux.tech.guy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Devs,

I've been trying to output some special characters that are multi byte in length, but

everytime I try I get the same results. The output is as if the special characters are

of single character width.  The MULTIBYTE option is set. UTF-8 is enable on my

virtual terminal(xfcer-terminal). Both LANG and LC_ALL are set to 'en_US.utf8'.

Using a gentoo system, so naming is 'en_US.utf8' not 'en_US.UTF-8' as is with

most distributions.

I did a grep of the zsh repository and found the following:

Src/compat.c:    if (!strcmp(nl_langinfo(CODESET), "UTF-8"))

Src/utils.c:    if (!strcmp(nl_langinfo(CODESET), "UTF-8")) {

I'm not a C programmer(know enough to be dangerous) so I may be barking up

the wrong tree here.  Could this be causing the issue I'm having?

ZSH patch level:  3cd363c

Thanks for your consideration.

Regards,

Jim Murphy
