When I change the shell to Bourne shell, sh, On OpenBSD, sh(1) is not a Bourne shell, but the same binary as ksh(1), a Korn shell, which is reasonably POSIX-compatible with various extensions.

Some time ago, i hacked into ksh(1) and added minimal UTF-8 support to both emacs and vi input mode, with very little disruption to the existing code base. I didn't bother to do anything similar for csh(1); whatever Theo may say, it is not a very modern shell IMHO... ;) I did not test, but i would be very surprised if csh(1) were able to work sensibly with UTF-8 input. Of course, i wouldn't object to similar work being done in csh(1). > I think I would like to file a bug report. Please don't, it is already well-known that no UTF-8 support was added to OpenBSD csh(1). Yours, Ingo
