I don't see any valid reason for that (the C locale corresponds to ANSI_X3.4-1968, which is 7-bit only, so that there is some inconsistency), except that it could be seen as more practical. But then, I would say that this should be the same for invalid byte sequences in a UTF-8 locale. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
