C Standard library functions have always had character encoding issue problems,
as there are innumerable encodings that C calls "char", including UTF-8
encoding.

D has a policy of not attempting to fix, refactor, reengineer, paper over,
improve, etc., Standard C functions nor operating system API functions. D
merely provides a straightforward, direct call to them.

It's up to the caller of those functions to understand them and call them
correctly.
