So, don't put them in a wchar_t? Put them in a g_unichar?

If the wchar_t can not handle the locale then you probably should not be
using the library. But you'll have to do encoding conversion anyway.

Although I _think_ you are confused about the issues here, this is
really a glib question, and you might want to take it to
gtk-list gnome org to get a more informed answer.
