# In locales other than the POSIX locale, a character may have a

To be pedantic, this does not actually say that in the POSIX locale,
a character shall not have a state-dependent encoding (even if it was
intended to imply that). Nor does any other section containing the words
"POSIX locale" say that, or depend on it as far as I can see.
