Split multibyte(3) into separate manual pages for each function.
Instead of just deleting it, turn the original page into a general overview of the multibyte character conversion functions, somewhat similar to stdio(3).

+.Nd convert a character to a wide-character code
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In stdlib.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn mbtowc "wchar_t * restrict wcharp" "const char * restrict mbchar" "size_t nbytes"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn mbtowc
+function converts a multibyte character
+.Fa mbchar
+into a wide character and stores the result
+in the object pointed to by
+.Fa wcharp .
+Up to
+.Fa nbytes
+bytes are examined.
+.Pp
+A call with a null
+.Fa mbchar
+pointer returns nonzero if the current locale requires shift states,
+zero otherwise;
+if shift states are required, the shift state is reset to the initial state.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If
+.Fa mbchar
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+the
+.Fn mbtowc
+function returns nonzero if shift states are supported,
+zero otherwise.
+If
+.Fa mbchar
+is valid,
+.Fn mbtowc
+returns
+the number of bytes processed in
+.Fa mbchar ,
+or \-1 if no multibyte character
+could be recognized or converted.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn mbtowc
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.\".It Bq Er EINVAL
+.\"Invalid argument.
+.It Bq Er EILSEQ
+An invalid multibyte sequence was detected.
