The core libraries in a GNU/Linux system do not support Microsoft-style ANSI/Unicode switching. There is nothing like the TCHAR type which goes to CHAR or WCHAR.

If you want wide characters, you explicitly use wchar_t and functions which use it.

There is a widespread practice of continuing to use char strings, but with UTF-8 encoding.

Internationalized programs either do that or use wchar_t or some mixture of the two.
