you only need 30 MB if you use the ridiculously bloated icu library. musl implements POSIX locale APIs including iconv and wcwidth plus the entire rest of the libc in around half a megabyte. if you need case folding, character classes, or other special functionality, utf8proc is about 0.3 MB, and libunistring is about 1.5 MB. additionally, if your device has less than a few megabytes of storage, you'll almost certainly be using static linking, which automatically prunes unused code from properly designed libraries.
