Using the American Nerd (C) locale isn't going to let you use any multibyte chars.

What locale is the char? You might want to use a UTF8 locale.

Thanks Dennis, for quick respond

Problem got resolved. i used echo statements in shell script and on that some character is taking 2 bytes. it causing the issue.
