This is really weird:
$ echo αβγδ | cat # αβγδ are Greek letters
αβγδ # SAY WHAT???
$ bash -c 'echo αβγδ | cat'
αβγδ # AS EXPECTED
Of course I'm not piping texts to cat but the same happens when cating files with Greek text.
FWIW using hexdump I see it gets different bytes when cat is involved:
$ echo αβγδ | hexdump -C
00000000 ce b1 ce b2 ce b3 ce b4 0a |.........|
00000009
$ echo αβγδ | cat | hexdump -C
00000000 c3 8e c2 b1 c3 8e c2 b2 c3 8e c2 b3 c3 8e c2 b4 |................|
00000010 0a |.|

I'm about to switch laptops so I tested on the new one and everything worked just fine. I'll leave it at that since on my old laptop I've gone wild with pip and pip3 and it has become a mess.
