Thanks for your report. The proposed change assumes that the program is running with LC_CTYPE set to a locate using UTF-8; this is in general not the case. The current configuration allows graceful degradation (e.g. ü -> ue) if some characters are not supported. I have written patch to add character set conversion to jwhois, but the maintainer so far doesn't seem to have time to review it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 132362 ***
