While you're at it, bring Unix into the 21st century, in which we use Unicode (UTF-8 encoding). The number of Unix utilities that badly support Unicode is, well, painful to those of us who deal with non-ASCII data all the time.
- 10000truths 5y agoWhich utilities don’t support UTF8? I’ve never had encoding issues when using coreutil binaries e.g. grep or sed or awk. I guess if you want to display emojis or something, that might not work properly, but that’s an issue with your terminal, not with the utility you’re running.
