I think, they just don't care and write text as usual. C standard was created 
with implication that strings are in system codepage and no transcoding is ever 
mentioned, it's a language for ASCII text.

There is even problem when program code is edited in a gui editor and saved in 
ANSI codepage, after compilation hardcoded strings are not transcoded and 
remain in ANSI codepage, printf just writes text blindly, so the output is 
broken.
