Because the /etc/logale.gen file tells us: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
# Where <locale> is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and |
| 14 |
# where <charmap> is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
and in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ you will find: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
UTF-8.gz |

The next comment says: |

|
| 22 |
# For the default list of supported combinations, see the file: |
| 23 |
# /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
which shows: en_US.UTF-8 |
