Description Aleksey Nogin 2001-04-22 16:38:09 UTC 
It seems that xxd is not using locale to figure out which symbols are
printable and which should be represented by a ".". Because of that, it
substitutes all non-ASCII letters with a ".", which makes it harder to use
xxd for binary editing.
Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-05-21 14:42:42 UTC 
You're right, it had hardcoded ASCII values.
I've fixed this in 6.0-0.32.
