Try the following with 'LANG=C' and 'LANG=de_DE.UTF-8'. You will
notice that in the latter case it will not cut the umlaut.
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <locale.h>
int main(void)
{
char* buffer;
char artist[] = "Haegar";
int ret;
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
artist[1]=0xc3;
artist[2]=0xa4;
ret = asprintf(&buffer,"%.2s\n",artist);
printf("%d bytes\n", ret);
printf(buffer);
free(buffer);
return 0;
}
