Unclear The exact effect on how such commands are parsed and approved is not shown.

What

Claude Code breaks shell commands into words to understand them, for example when deciding whether a command needs your permission. Characters outside plain ASCII, such as accented letters, other alphabets or emoji, can now start a word in that step. Before, a word starting with one of them was not matched there.

Why

Commands containing non-English text are more likely to be read correctly, which may change how permission checks treat them.
