-The MULTIBYTE option is on by default where it is available; this

+Configure attempts to decide if multibyte characters are supported by the
+system and if so sets the effect of --enable-multibyte, unless
+--disable-multibyte was passed on the command line.  When
+--enable-multibyte is in effect, the MULTIBYTE shell option is on by
+default; this causes many operations to recognise characters in the current
+locale.  (Most typically this is used for a UTF-8 character set but the
+shell will work with any character set provided by the system where
+individual octets are either US ASCII characters or have the top bit set.)
+Older versions of the shell always assumed a character was one byte; this
+remains the case if --disable-multibyte is in effect or if the MULTIBYTE
+option is unset.  In some places the width of characters will be taken into
+account where previously a raw string length was used; this is transparent
+in calculations of screen position, but also occurs, for example, in
+calculations of padding width.  Note that MULTIBYTE is not automatically
+set when emulating Bourne- and POSIX-style shells; for interactive use of
+these emulations it may be necessary to set it by hand.  Note also that the
+option COMBINING_CHARS is not set by default due to difficulties detecting
+the ability of the terminal to display combining characters correctly; MAC
+users in particular will probably wish to set this option.
 
 Zsh has previously been lax about whether it allows octets with the
 top bit set to be part of a shell identifier.  Older versions of the shell
 assumed all such octets were allowed in identifiers, however the POSIX
 standard does not allow such characters in identifiers.  The older
 behaviour is still obtained with --disable-multibyte in effect.
