busybox ash in UTF-8 locale does not like the lowercase Greek letter 'rho' (CF 81) in a case statement.
case "ρ" in ( "ρ" ) echo ok ;; ( * ) echo WRONG ;; esac outputs WRONG. The preceding character π (CF 80) is fine, but the succeeding one ς (CF 82) is not. There are other characters with this effect as well but I haven't had time to test them. I may follow up if I find the time and detect a pattern. This is serious; it means 'case' cannot compare arbitrary UTF-8 strings. Behaviour confirmed in busybox ash version 1.25.0, 1.24.2, 1.24.1, 1.23.2 and 1.20.0, with ash compiled as a standalone on Linux.
