I know: I'll have a look at the source.
It's a debian addition, in a block with a FIXME comment header and some commented out debug fprintf statements. It is indeed to do with UTF-8 and calls out to recode_* routines defined in recode.h
From http://recode.progiciels-bpi.ca/index.html :
The Recode library converts files between character sets and usages. It recognises or produces over 200 different character sets (or about 300 if combined with an iconv library) and transliterates files between almost any pair. When exact transliteration are not possible, it gets rid of offending characters or falls back on approximations. The recode program is a handy front-end to the library.
Wow, debian's fortune-mod is bad C. I mean, Daily WTF standard. If this can be long-standing multi-distro code, then maybe I'm not as unworthy to contribute code as I thought.
