POSIX Issue 7 and 8 Draft 2.1 say:
104054 −e[char][gap]
104055 Expand each input <tab> to the next greater column
position specified by the
104056 formula n*gap+1, where n is an integer > 0. If gap is
zero or is omitted, it shall
104057 default to 8. All <tab> characters in the input shall be
expanded into the
104058 appropriate number of <space> characters. If any
non-digit character, char, is
104059 specified, it shall be used as the input <tab>. If the
first character of the −e option-
104060 argument is a digit, the entire option-argument shall be
assumed to be gap.
104067 −i[char][gap] In output, replace <space> characters with <tab>
characters wherever one or more
104068 adjacent <space> characters reach column positions
gap+1, 2* gap+1, 3* gap+1, and
104069 so on. If gap is zero or is omitted, default tab
settings at every eighth column
104070 position shall be assumed. If any non-digit character,
char, is specified, it shall be
104071 used as the output <tab>. If the first character of the
−i option-argument is a digit,
104072 the entire option-argument shall be assumed to be gap.
104119 LC_CTYPE
104120 Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences
of bytes of text data as
104121 characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
multi-byte characters in
104122 arguments and input files) and which characters are
defined as printable (character
104123 class print). Non-printable characters are still written
to standard output, but are
104124 not counted for the purpose for column-width and
line-length calculations.
Which very obviously and explicitly says that -eą must work
(if the locale has an ą, which mine obviously does).
Best,
