Fair enough - POSIX does not require the existence of a multibyte locale; an embedded system that provides only single-byte encodings can still be POSIX-compliant. But POSIX _does_ require that tr be locale-aware, and therefore if an implementation provides multibyte locales (which most desktop glibc-based GNU/Linux systems do), then tr should honor those locales, including multibyte character support. > > But yes, the main thing is for someone to contribute > correct, easy-to-maintain, and efficient code.
