I know this isn't a "real" patch submission yet, but some comments

		^^^^^
I think you need to allocate actual storage for the character here.

"uni" is a ptr to a wchar_t, but you're treating it as a string.
There's no guarantee that it'll be null-terminated. I might be
mistaken, but doesn't char2uni return the length of the converted
character in bytes? Tallying up the return from those is probably
the thing to do.
