In UCS-4 these would be

      0000041F  00000442  0000043D

So you can see that it simply used the low 8 bit of every UCS-4 character.
Which is broken. Before reporting this as a bug to the GCC people, you
might want to find out whether it's a bug in std::wcsftime or a bug in
the std::wcout stream.
