Dear Maintainer, I found, that find with -ls shows escaped non-Ascii characters. -- Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file with a non-ASCII name: touch test-a-umlaut-ä 2. Run: find . -ls 3. Output shows: 278000 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 w3l w3l 0 Mai 14 08:47 ./test-a-umlaut-\303\244 4. Attempt to use the output with `ls`: ls -l ./test-a-umlaut-\303\244 5. Result: ls: Zugriff auf './test-a-umlaut-303244' nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden 6. Compare with `LC_ALL=C ls -l`: -rw-r--r-- 1 w3l w3l 0 May 14 08:47 'test-a-umlaut-'$'\303\244' 7. Contrast with `ls -l`: -rw-r--r-- 1 w3l w3l 0 14. Mai 08:47 test-a-umlaut-ä or `find -print`: ./test-a-umlaut-ä -- Expected Behavior: `find -ls` should respect the UTF-8 locale (de_CH.UTF-8) and output filenames as-is (e.g., ./test-a-umlaut-ä), matching `ls -l` and `find -print`, so the output is consitent within the running system. -- Actual Behavior: The `find -ls` command escapes non-ASCII characters (e.g., ä as \303\244) in filenames, even in a UTF-8 locale (de_CH.UTF-8). This produces output that is unusable as input to other commands. The behavior seems to almost mimic `LC_ALL=C ls -l`, which also escapes non-ASCII characters, suggesting that `find -ls` ignores the UTF-8 locale for filename output. Still, the `LC_ALL=C ls -l` escapes differently (see abouve), and that can be used as input again into say `ls`. Also compiled locally findutils 4.10.0 to see... Shows same behaviour. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.10 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-34-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_CH:de Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages findutils depends on: ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u10 ii libselinux1 3.4-1+b6 findutils recommends no packages. findutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de_CH:de LC_CTYPE="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
