Multiple issues: * the encoding is not always ASCII * what ASCII code is assigned to я * dash isn't internationalised (this is nonconformant but out of scope), and uses the next /byte/; in a UTF-8 locale: $ printf %d\\n \'ą 196 $ printf %d\\n \'я 196 this is in contrast to POSIX (and bash), which says: > If the leading character is a single-quote or double-quote, > the value shall be the numeric value in the underlying codeset > of the character following the single-quote or double-quote.
