They refer to the methods in which the text strings are encoded:

	mb == multibyte
	wc == wide character (wchar_t)
	utf8 == Unicode UTF-8 encoded

mb & wc are the same concepts used in the libc routines like wscmp() &
mbtowc.    More detailed documentation can be found in Chapter 13 of
the Xlib Reference Guide ( doc/xorg-docs/hardcopy/X11/xlib.PS.gz in
the current modular trees).
