Hi there,

Just for the record, if any day somebody wants to attend this

I just noticed, that the "tr" from 9base can handle utf-8 correctly.
9base is a unix-port of the plan9 utils: http://tools.suckless.org/9base

i didn't took an closer look yet to the sources neither from gnu tr nor
from 9base tr. But may somebody other could benefit from there.

Kind Regards,
Michael
