How would you want to do that? If the system has no locale with ASCII or ISO-8859-1 encoding (such as on macOS, Haiku, and Android), you can't force it. > Maybe, it would be better to just improve the Coreutils test suite to > recognize these encoding differences. But that will take some effort. :) Yes, that surely is a bit of work. Bruno
