Description:

About bash utf-8:

Bash is the shell, or command language interpreter, that will appear in the GNU operating system. It is default shell for BeOS.

By default, GNU bash assumes that every character is one byte long and one column wide. It may cause several problems for all non-english BeOS users, especially with file names using national characters. A patch for bash 2.04, by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk and Ricardas Cepas, teaches bash about multibyte characters in UTF-8 encoding, and fixes those problems.
Double-width characters, combining characters and bidi are not supported by this patch.
