I sympathize with your position! It looks as though you can do nothing other than put the conversion function in front of the PCRE functions, and also, I suppose, on the output as well, to convert back. Ugh! Alternatively, could you supply different versions of PCRE2, compiled with different code pages? Or is this too much extra maintenance?
