For what it’s worth, ‘fold’ from Busybox handles UTF-8 correctly:
+$ busybox fold -w 10 << EOF +> 1234567890123456789012 +> Мы не рабы, рабы немы. +> EOF 1234567890 1234567890 12 Мы не рабы , рабы нем ы. +$ busybox fold -w 10 -s << EOF +> Мы не рабы, рабы немы. +> EOF Мы не рабы, рабы немы. (While in Coreutils the bug is still present.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
