Thanks.

They can't work on multibyte strings. This is evident from the fact that
strncasecmp gets one integer as argument, not two integers. In a Turkish
locale, for example, "i" (1 byte) and "İ" (2 bytes) are the same modulo
case.

I agree that the POSIX language is murky because "character" there is
equivalent to "byte", and yet the same page talks about characters and bytes...

For multibyte strings, one needs other functions. See
