doc: cut: clarify that combining characters are not treated specially2026-04-05T12:15:56ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-03-28T16:18:41Zurn:sha1:fe008233306eebca44770d3d4411313e18ced3c3
This is for consistency with other implementations and since the
interface separates -b and -c it might in future support -g (graphemes).
Normalizing content with a filter seems like the most appropriate
approach anyway, as there are various normalizations possible including
case etc. rather than baking that into every tool
