I want to check what this code is. If it ony adds support for utf-8,
then icu is insane. It should be possible to implement utf8 (only)
support in KB not MB. musl libc should already have utf-8 support so it
might be possible to add this feature without any external dependencies.

Any volunteering to have a look at this?
