Title:
  Cant <redirect from file names containing Cyrillic "с"

Status in “dash” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dash

  dash can not open files for input <redirection if the file names contain the character "с" (code U+0438, a Cyrillic small letter).
  Many other Cyrillic characters seem unaffected.

  Since dash is used for /bin/sh, this problem may break any /bin/sh
  scripts which may encounter Cyrillic characters in file names.

  DEMO SCRIPT:

  #!/bin/dash
  file="Леб и Вино (2005) Македонски Пески (flac).m3u"
  ls -ld "$file"
  while read line ; do
     echo "GOT $line"
  done < "$file"

  RESULTS:
  The ls command output is correct, so the filename is not corrupted immediately.  However the shell barfs trying to redirect stdin for the while loop; dash prints the error:
  "cannot open Леб и Вино (2005) Македон�ки Пе�ки (flac).m3u: No such file"

  Note that in the error message, the 'с' characters are replaced by
  something which, in my system at least, displays as a black diamond
  with a question mark (�).
