Package: coreutils
Version: 8.5-1
Severity: normal
tr does not handle multibyte characters at all and
works with bytes instead. Simple testcase below:
$ echo абвгде | hexdump -C
00000000 d0 b0 d0 b1 d0 b2 d0 b3 d0 b4 d0 b5 0a |.............|
echo абвгде | tr -d г | hexdump -C
00000000 b0 b1 b2 b4 b5 0a |......|
Also man page fails to mention this fact
