The -c option is documented as "select only these characters" and even specified by POSIX. "One byte delimiters" would be the -b option. So, this is a real bug, not a missing feature. Anyway, a missing feature should just result in a failure (non-zero exit status, with an error message), while here, "cut" succeeds with incorrect output, which is really bad. So the severity should be set back to "normal" (at least). As C.UTF-8 is now standard, support of such a locale is a must. > We're working on it. > Something is coming soon. Soon? This was in 2010!
