You mean to get any UTF-8 support at all? 'fraid so. From http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html: "The normal ncurses libraries support 8-bit characters. The ncurses library can also be configured (--enable-widec) to support wide-characters (for instance Unicode and the UTF-8 encoding). The corresponding wide-character ncursesw libraries are source-compatible with the normal applications. That is, applications must be compiled and linked against the ncursesw library."
