Hi,
wc -w doesn't seem to recognize whitespace characters with a codepoint
over UCHAR_MAX (255) as word separators. For example, using the
character EM SPACE U+2003:
$ printf "foo\u2003bar" | ./wc -w
1
I should get a word count of 2, but instead the space is ignored while
counting words. Meanwhile, wc v9.4 gives the correct answer:
$ printf "foo\u2003bar" | wc -w
2
It looks like the regression has been introduced by [f40c6b5] and
would be fixed by something like the following change:
diff --git a/src/wc.c b/src/wc.c
index f5a921534..9d456f8c0 100644
