* appended to the temporary storage @buffer until the UTF-8 stream in
* @buffer describes a Unicode code point.
*
* When a new code point has been decoded it is returned and buffer[0] is

* The buffer must be at least 5 characters long. Before the first function
* invocation buffer[0] must be set to '\0'."

* @buffer: buffer, at least 5 characters
* Return: next codepage 437 character or 0
* Return: Unicode code point or 0
