Most software, traditional sudo included, would respect the LC_CTYPE being set to an UTF-8 (or any of the older multi-byte encodings), and do proper character counting.

At the very least, all GNU tools put a lot of focus on localization support, and I hope sudo-rs is the same.

Having LC_CTYPE bit set to utf8 would be my worry. Would suck to not be able to logging because the LC* lang changed.

Hmmm, hopefully sudo-rs respects LC* env vars. I recall reading a few years back that some Rust Unix tools skipped that and won big on benchmarks until folks realized they weren’t handling NC localization properly.
