Multiple issues:
* the encoding is not always ASCII
* what ASCII code is assigned to я
* dash isn't internationalised
(this is nonconformant but out of scope),
and uses the next /byte/; in a UTF-8 locale:
$ printf %d\\n \'ą
196
$ printf %d\\n \'я
196
this is in contrast to POSIX (and bash), which says:
> If the leading character is a single-quote or double-quote,
> the value shall be the numeric value in the underlying codeset
> of the character following the single-quote or double-quote.
(i.e. mbrtowc(&val, argv[n], ...))
