putwchar() can't diplay a wchar_t variable

Why printf() can display é (\u00E9 int UTF-16) and putwchar() can't ?

And what is the right syntax to get putwchar displaying é correctly ?

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <locale.h>

int main() {
  wint_t wc = L'\u00E9';

  setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "fr_FR.utf8");

  printf("%C\n", wc);
  putwchar((wchar_t)wc);
  putchar('\n');

  return 0;
}

Environnement

• OS : openSUSE Leap 42.1
• compiler : gcc version 4.8.5 (SUSE Linux)
• Terminal : Terminator
• Terminal encoding : UTF-8
• Shell : zsh
• CPU : x86_64

Shell env :

env | grep LC && env | grep LANG
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
GDM_LANG=fr_FR.utf8

Edit

in :

wint_t  wc = L'\u00E9'
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");

out:

C3 A9 0A E9 0A

in:

wint_t wc = L'\xc3a9';               
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");

out:

EC 8E A9 0A A9 0A
