did a test with a UTF-8 file
tr -d '[:print:]\|[:cntrl:]' <peanut >/tmp/out; hexedit /tmp/out
File peanut was a utf8 file and resulting /tmp/out file has just the
non-ascii characters.
E2 80 99 E2 80 99 E2 80 99 E2 80 99 E2 80 99 E2 80 99
In that case utf-8
e28099 [’] RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (U+2019)
