The same as on any other Linux box.
Some important tips for beginners:
* Don't forget to set your locale appropriately at the beginning of your program.
* Use ONE encoding CONSISTENTLY (utf-8 or utf-16) inside your program, and trans-code appropriately to/from outer encodings (all such transcoding should happen at the IO edges). If using UTF-16, make sure you standardise on an byte order if you are storing the files. UTF-8 doesn't have that issue. US-ASCII is also UTF-8 (the reverse is not true).
* Do not mix data representations. As much as you can, try to stay with either wide-characters (where every character is represented as a single 32-bit codepoint) or multi-byte (eg. UTF-8, UTF-16).
* Yes, UTF-16 is also a multi-byte character set.
* Learn about Unicode Normalisation: it is important when comparing strings. It is VERY IMPORTANT when comparing strings in a security context.
* Software you will want to learn:
libiconv for transcoding.
IBM's Components for Unicode (ICU). This is a large suite of commonly needed Unicode algorithms that libc doesn't have.
Hope it helps,
