This is by design.

The problem is that I have no way of knowing the width of a given
UTF-8 character in the font you are using. E.g. ঐ ও ঔ ক

This means the progress bar may be messed up if I include those.

It is unclear to me if it in general is preferably that the UTF-8
characters are just passed through - even if the bar is messed up.

It is easily changed. Simply remove:

       $arg =~ tr/[\011-\016\033\302-\365]//d;
