GCC provides a wchar_t type; other than that, Unicode support depends
upon your OS's C library. (The GNU C library is a separate project from
GCC.)

If it's a unix system, you can try 'man wcslen' as a start. If it's
Windows then yes, there is good Unicode support: the APIs support or
encourage Unicode. Other than that, I don't know.

Good luck,
Rup.
