Assuming that unicode is enabled, is there any reason I cannot just push a UTF-8 character to the screen with addch()?
yes - but: "a UTF-8 character" means to me a multibyte encoding for a Unicode character. Each call to addch() expects a byte with attributes.

In Fedora the user can start and stop unicode at anytime with unicode_start and unicode_stop.There's no mechanism (no defined escape sequence that tells if it is). Thomas Wolff has some library function for guessing if it is.
