No, this is specific to mdocml.  mdocml assums wchar_t's internal
representation UCS-4 (__STDC_ISO_10646__).

See line 31 of:
 http://mandoc.bsd.lv/cgi-bin/cvsweb/configure.local.example?annotate=1.33

But our locale's wchar_t is not always UCS-4, we use a
locale-dependent encoding for now (eg. ja_JP.eucJP).

If branch perseant-stdc-iso10646 is merged, I think that the
situation will change.

No.
