I know that it is OS dependent but how is it locale dependent?

I think you meant:
typedef wchar_t uchar_t;
There are another rationales for defining you own. First it make it easier
to port to another platform. I have defined UChar32, UChar16, and UChar8.
Second if you use a re-definition like UChar8 for all UTF-8 code it will
make sure that you use unsigned char consistently and not just char. This
is something that will also bite you especially with different compilers.
