------- Comment #15 from jakub at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-12-05 09:48 ------- Well, if you take first byte from a multibyte sequence, then it is IMNSHO something that should be solved for 4.4 too. For say ru_RU.UTF-8 that means you emit invalid UTF-8 if you separate digits with say '\xc2', "\x33\xc2\x33\x33\x33" is invalid UTF-8.
