> To communicate with the controller, wstrings are converted from/to UTF8 using 
> the default encoding functions from the C-library (like wcsrtombs), but those 
> functions actually do convert to UTF8 ONLY if the current locale is an UTF8 
> one. Else encoding errors occur.
> Another issue is that these functions cannot handle nulls inside strings (It 
> seems to currently trigger an OutOfMemory error on the controller).
