The ncurses test program (see the sources test/ncurses.c) uses setlocale()

It calls setlocale(LC_ALL,""). My LANG is en_US.UTF-8, so I get UTF-8
encoding. I'm going to set up the company I'm writing this for with Putty in
UTF-8, so this doesn't really matter, but how would I handle strings if some
other encoding were in use? I'd like all strings to be stored as UTF-8
internally, regardless of locale.

You'd have to translate the strings - libiconv does that sort of thing.
