Like for grep which now barfs out when a character isn’t recognized in

You are barking up the wrng tree, please take that upstream.
I was just discussing some background, pointing out this is an upstream
nuisance.
For ls at least, it can be fixed with the environment variable
QUOTING_STYLE but that isn’t even mentioned in the manual page!%§↯
– Poor old Unix tradition fades away.
What about adding
export QUOTING_STYLE=literal
to /etc/profile as a fix?
No, but you're free to do whatever you wish in /etc/profile.d (or lobby
the coreutils maintiner to provide it with the package, although I'd
suggest that it shouldn't get installed by default).
I wouldn't ask the maintainer for a change with such an impact without
discussing it in the community first, of course everybody can set up
their own environment anyway.
