Technically multibyte characters should work in ksh93 (the terminal is
responsible for handling the input methods and converting those inputs
into a stream of multibyte characyters which the shells will "see" as
input) ...
... which ksh93 version do you have, e.g. what does $ ksh -c 'print
"${.sh.version}"' # print on your system and which OS+version do you
use ?
