# Can the open bugs | #* '''MAYBE.''' If correctly configured, reasonably recent versions of GNU readline support 8bit characters if LC_CTYPE is set to a UTF-8 locale. Versions 6.1 and newer versions should be working if the user didn't override "meta-flag", "convert-meta", or "output-meta" (maybe also others). It is unclear from the documentation whether this also means support for all UTF-8 characters (including multibyte characters). But bash uses readline and it supports UTF-8. So it should be possible. | ||
