As previously discussed on the coreutils mailing list, beginning with
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2017-12/msg00074.html
most of the coreutils text processing commands process bytes instead of
characters, regardless of the user's locale, so they do not handle UTF-8
text or options properly.
I propose the changes in
https://github.com/ericfischer/coreutils/compare/multibyte-squash
to convert sort, uniq, join, tr, cut, paste, expand, and unexpand to
process characters instead of bytes, allowing them to work correctly on
non-ASCII text, as specified by POSIX.
