This is not a bug per se.
ftstring expects a UTF-8 string, while ftview interprets its
argument bytewise.

I agree that it isn't documented. There are two choices:

. Document this behaviour.

. Make ftview behave as ftstring.

Patches, please :-)

ftview -m "16 бочек Würkner" shows garbage
ftstring -m "16 бочек Würkner" works great
