ls has a problem, because it is using isprint(3) instead of iswprint(3).
You can work around the problem by using something like "ls | cat",
though.
Others aren't internationalized as well, but I guess they are almost
OK, as far as you are using UTF-8.
(/bin/sh has problems with Shift_JIS and Big5, so it needs some
quoting with these codesets, though.)
