This was because AIX 7.2 wchar_t has only 16 bits, so it cannot represent the
Unicode character in that test case. Grep master mishandled such data, by
ignoring the high-order bits of the characters in some cases. To fix the Gnulib
problem I found, I installed this patch to Gnulib master:

https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2019-12/msg00218.html

and installed the attached patches to Grep master.
