how to convert arabic ascii text to hex?

The code in this SO answer, works with latin chars.

#include <stdio.h>

void charToHex(char *a)
{
    char word[17], outword[33];//17:16+1, 33:16*2+1
    int i, len;

    strcpy(word, a);
    len = strlen(word);
    if(word[len-1]=='\n')
        word[--len] = '\0';

    for(i = 0; i<len; i++){
        sprintf(outword+i*2, "%02X", word[i]);
    }
    printf("%s\n", outword);
}

int main(void) 
{
    char ch[10]="a";
    charToHex(ch);
    return 0;
}

It writes 61 for "a". But if I put "ق" in ch[10], it returns FFFFFFFF82. But it should be D982. How can I get true Hex value for Arabic letters? You can try code with ideone.

Thanks.
