So you are also suggesting that what gesthostbyaddr() returns is not
utf-8
encoded too?
What character is 0xb6 anyways?
It isn't. It's a byte. Bytes are not characters.

Well in case of utf-8 encoding for the first 127 codepoing we can safely
say that a character equals a byte :)
Equals? No. Bytes are not characters. (Strictly speaking, they're
codepoints, not characters.)
And anyway, it's the first _128_ codepoints.
Yes 0-127 = 128, i knew that!
Well the relationship between characters and bytes is that:
A [0-127] Unicode codepoints(characters) need 1-byte to be stored in
utf-8 encoding.
I think its also correct to say that the byte in the above situation is
the representation of our character.
