bug#56350: UTF-8 LC_CTYPE bug esp when a certain range of Korean charact

Grep (and also Sed) cannot match a certain range of Korean characters when it operates under LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (and whatever language environment with UTF-8 encoding including en_US.UTF-8, ko_KR.UTF-8, or ja_JP.UTF-8 etc.)

Reproduce the bug:
$ export LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8
$ echo 폿 | grep .
폿 <-- a character that is in the range [가-폿] (<UAC00>~<UD3FF>)
                         is matched without any issue
$ echo 퐀 | grep .
$ <-- but a character in the range [퐀-힣] (<UD400>~<UD7A3>) CANNOT be matched but it IS SUPPOSED TO be matched.

Sed has the same issue with the period regex too.

The Example of Sed:
$ export LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8
$ echo "폿" | sed -e 's/./a/'
a                             <-- matched and replaced without an issue
$ echo "퐀" | sed -e 's/./a/'
퐀                            <-- FAILED to match so it doesn't replace

I think it is related with <regex.h> or <iconv.h> on Glibc, but I couldn't find way to reproduce the bug with those, so alternatively, I report on Grep instead.
