Package: suckless-tools
Version: 38-1
Severity: normal

dmenu cannot properly display characters outside of
latin1 set. Below is simple test case for that:

$ echo абвгдежзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя | dmenu

Dmenu will display some junk from latin1 set
 а U+0430  becomes  Ð U+00D0
 б U+0431  becomes  Ñ U+00D1
 etc...
It looks like some truncation take place

Note that characters from latin1 range displayed correctly.
Following command displays ÀÁÂÃÄÅ
$ echo ÀÁÂÃÄÅ | dmenu

version 35-1 was not affected by this
