Will anything be done about this problem? https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/1e70e82baa9193f6f027338b0fab0f5078971fbe https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/co

  This reads like a problem with the POSIX libraries and not with the C language itself, so it‘s probably not up to the language to fix it. C actually comes pre-equipped in a pretty nice position with its default 8 bit char data type (which is perfect for UTF-8). The POSIX standard however, I agree is in serious need of an overhaul for locale features and you‘re probably better off ignoring it completely and just going ICU these days anyways - though then you have to go the extra length to still use the OS provided means (LC_* env under Unix) to get to the user‘s preferred locale. But once you have that, yeah, ICU is probably the way to go for actual string formatting.

    Locales and the most basic functions around them are defined in the C ISO standards. (e.g. section 7.11 of http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf)
