    <p>From the GNU diff documentation:</p> <blockquote> <p>Handling Multibyte and Varying-Width Characters</p> <p>diff, diff3 and sdiff treat each line of input as a string of unibyte characters. This can mishandle multibyte characters in some cases. For example, when asked to ignore spaces, diff does not properly ignore a multibyte space character.</p> <p>Also, diff currently assumes that each byte is one column wide, and this assumption is incorrect in some locales, e.g., locales that use UTF-8 encoding. This causes problems with the -y or --side-by-side option of diff.</p> <p>These problems need to be fixed without unduly affecting the performance of the utilities in unibyte environments.</p> <p>The IBM GNU/Linux Technology Center Internationalization Team has proposed some patches to support internationalized diff <a href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/patches/i18n/diffutils-2.7.2-i18n-0.1.patch.gz" rel="noreferrer">http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/patches/i18n/diffutils-2.7.2-i18n-0.1.patch.gz</a>. Unfortunately, these patches are incomplete and are to an older version of diff, so more work needs to be done in this area.</p> </blockquote> <p>I never realized that myself.</p> <p>It looks like Guiffy could to the job if a nonfree, non-command line tool will do the job, still looking for a freeware command line tool:</p> <p><a href="http://www.guiffy.com/Diff-Tool.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.guiffy.com/Diff-Tool.html</a></p>
