Re: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1222#c4375

That resolution doesn't seem to address the encoding issue.

BIG5 α (Greek alpha U+03B1) is encoded as 0xA8 0x5C and BIG5 \ (backslash
U+005C) is 0x5C.

In

   echo αc

in a locale that uses the BIG5 as charset, do the "operands contain a
<backslash> character" (encoding 0x5C) as virtually all echo
implementations think it does, or does it not?

Do you want me to raise a separate bug for that?

Could you please state the Austin Group position on that in this bug, even
if it doesn't end up in the text of the specification?
