I've changed the title because it was misleading
(was: "The Greek letter "rho" is considered as two letters").

Repeating the problem,

$ touch appétit              
$ ls app?tit
ls: cannot access app?tit: No such file or directory
$ ls app??tit
appétit

I.e. double-byte utf-8 characters need two "?" to be matched.,
triple-byte utf-8 characters (e.g. ἀ) need three "?" to be matched etc.
