Environment for Hungary where á and í are proper lowercase letters
but for example Spanish has these letters too:
$ set | grep ^L
LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_ALL=hu_HU.UTF-8
LINES=73
LOGNAME=kadar1marto518
Now let's see the bytestream for the following string
(which means flood in Hungarian):
$ echo árvíz | od -c
0000000 303 241 r v 303 255 z \n
0000010
Let us try to delete a character and see if it worked:
$ echo árvíz | tr -d á | od -c
0000000 r v 255 z \n
0000005
Correct expected behavior would rather be:
$ echo árvíz | tr -d á | od -c
0000000 r v 303 255 z \n
0000006
I'll check the source for tr myself although never coded in C.
This should be a trivial fix. The problem is especially annoying
as we currently have no real simple and good general purpose case
conversion tool. (correct me if I'm wrong, but tr should be this
tool).
