There was actually implementation of wide character support almost 20 years ago. Some of mails at 
DJGPP workers (not all of them) are

Original URL from last of these mails do not respond now and it did no more contain the files when 
I looked last time long ago as far as I remember.

The problem is that that nobody took the work of actually integrating these additions in DJGPP libc 
then. Good news is that I still have these files laying around

I raised this topic before releasing DJGPP v2.05. It was then decided to postpone it.
