That's simply a matter of the locale: mc cannot cope with UTF-8 because all
the layout calculation probably depend on the assumption that the string
binary length matches the display length (I'd call those strlen() and
strwidth()).
That may be due to the fact that, although many application have this problem,
there is not easy-to-use library that automatically handles this in a
portable way (and no, the mcs* function are _not_ a solution).
