For reproducible results prefix commands with LC_ALL=C … or possibly just 
LC_COLLATE=C or LC_CTYPE=C or =POSIX to standardize the locale, otherwise many 
commands will respect the current locale, and some respect Unicode regardless of 
locale e.g. `info wc`:

"Unless the environment variable ‘POSIXLY_CORRECT’ is set, GNU ‘wc’ treats the 
following Unicode characters as white space even if the current locale does not: 
U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE, U+2007 FIGURE SPACE, U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE, and 
U+2060 WORD JOINER."

For GNU utilities, where info pages are preferred, such as coreutils*, compiler 
and language processors, and tools packages, many details do not appear in the 
man pages, for example:

"Full documentation <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/wc> or available 
locally via: info '(coreutils) wc invocation'"

although `info wc` shows the same page.
