The char tripping up is probably 'micro sign'.

I've ran into this same issue when enviromental variables were set to
Chinese and test output has this as byte. Can you tell your
environmental variables, specifically LANG and LC_ALL ?

root at snb-black ~# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
root at snb-black /lkp/benchmarks/piglit# echo $LC_ALL
C

It is already utf-8.
