Yes it is. Are you sure you are using a unicode locale? See for instance: $ export LC_ALL=fr_FR $ echo "skål" | iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf8 | grep -q "sk.l" && echo OK $ export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF8 $ echo "skål" | iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf8 | grep -q "sk.l" && echo OK OK $ > So, should I file a bug with "important" severity for grep?
