This version of awk has the same bug as plan9 version.

Thanks for the report.

Technically, for this version, it's not a bug, as this version does not support UTF-8 or any other wide character set encoding.

Adding such support is involved and unlikely to happen. Speaking from experience, it's a lot of work. In addition, the regex routines this awk uses have no such support and are a swamp I don't want to try to navigate through.

So, sorry. I'm closing this issue.

I wanted to check.., even though I guessed the same.
