Fixed.
Eqn was using the proposed standard functions mbtowc and wctomb
for processing multibyte character sequences and wide characters.
Unfortunately, those don't work in some places, such as your system
and mine. (I am sure they would magically start working with the
right environment variable settings, but who has the time?)
I dropped in a UTF-8 implementation of those functions and
now eqn handles that input as you would expect.
