I used ripgrep on the zsh-completions git dir and the only result is this:

```
zsh-completions/src/_openssl
2490:    'ignore_type:not attempt to interpret multibyte characters in 
any way'
```

I'd say +1 on the opinion that zsh may be doing multibyte the wrong way. 
Even with this result you can't tell for sure whose fault it really is.
