handling special characters in AIX with C

Hi,

I have this host which sends a text file in UTF-8 via ftp. But when my
program reads the file in AIX, it is not able to handle the German
umlaut character Ä which is in the file.
My program is in C. I am using AIX 4. The program opens the text file
and reads each character using fscanf(fp,"%c",&inChar) where fp is the
file pointer and inChar is the variable into which each character is
stored.

Any Idea how I can rectify this?
