Summary 0004784: UTF-8 character input in Busybox shell
Description Busybox 1.11.x does not support UTF-8 character input in shell (ash/msh/others) correctly. This version only support the ASCII (ISO-8859-1) handling, like 'CTRL+B' only move the cursor one character backward, but not move the pointer in line input buffer correctly if the character is multi byte.

We should identify and handle the input character with multibyte (UTF) and single byte(ASCII).
Additional Information I found an interesting thing in TODO, "Figure out where we need utf8 support, and add it."

Is that possible to add the UTF-8 support in libbb, it's a common issue, especially for the line edit (like `readline' routine)
