Package: bash

Command: echo -e '\u0041 \u00a3 \u0152'
Expected output: A £ Œ
Displayed output: A � Œ
hexdump shows that the difference is that in what is actually written to
stdout, there is an 0xA3 but no preceding 0xC2: the code point has not been
converted to UTF-8 for display, but has been output as if it needed no
encoding.
The fix is trivial; a patch is attached.
