Ok, went back and checked ...
No ncursesw.h anywhere.
Removed all traces of libncurses and in the ncurses source
did a make distclean.
Then a ../configure --with-shared --prefix=/usr
The "--enable-widec" option gives you ncursesw (did you use that
in installing the library?).
If you install ncursesw after ncurses, it can overwrite the header
installed by the ncurses build. Compiles against either library
are supposed to work with the headers installed using --enable-widec.
I compiled your test program with
gcc -o foo.c -lncursesw
followed my : make ... then a make install ....
Still .. no ncursesw.h ... this is ncurses 5.7 version.
sorry - I had in the back of my mind
#include <ncursesw/curses.h>
discarded that as not being what you were likely to see, and blundered.
Thanks ...

perhaps this (unless the packager does something special, ncursesw's header
is named "ncursesw.h"). Changing that, I do get a graphic character...
