Indeed - and it only does on architectures where char == signed char: $ export LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.ISO8859-15 $ echo "éé" | sed 's/é/\é/g' sed: 1: "s/é/\é/g": RE error: trailing backslash (\) $ uname -a NetBSD seven-days-to-the-wolves.aprisoft.de 10.99.6 NetBSD 10.99.6 (GENERIC) #642: Wed Jul 26 10:32:32 CEST 2023 mar...@seven-days-to-the-wolves.aprisoft.de:/work/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64 but: $ export LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.ISO8859-15 $ echo "éé" | sed 's/é/\é/g' éé $ uname -a NetBSD big-apple.aprisoft.de 10.99.4 NetBSD 10.99.4 (POWERMAC_G5.MP) #100: Tue Jun 27 19:48:49 CEST 2023 mar...@seven-days-to-the-wolves.aprisoft.de:/work/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/POWERMAC_G5.MP macppc Fun :-) Thierry, can you please file a PR?
