getwchar − read a wide character from standard input
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t getwchar (void);
The getwchar function is the wide-character equivalent of the getchar function. It reads a wide character from stdin and returns it. If the end of stream is reached, or if ferror(stdin) becomes true, it returns WEOF. If a wide character conversion error occurs, it sets errno to EILSEQ and returns WEOF.
The getwchar function returns the next wide-character from standard input, or WEOF.
ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98
fgetwc(3)
The behaviour of getwchar depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
It is reasonable to expect that getwchar will actually read a multibyte sequence from standard input and then convert it to a wide character.
