So you have three locales installed (C and POSIX are internal and always |
| 11 |
present) that are the same language and region with different character |
| 12 |
sets. You probably don't need to do this anymore, since most every |
| 13 |
modern application can handle UTF-8 character data and, even if it |
| 14 |
can't, UTF-8 data looks identical to US-ASCII data for most English |
| 15 |
language text. |

This means that your UTF-8 setup is clearly *not* working :) Your locale |
| 35 |
is not being set anywhere, it's using the glibc default of POSIX. POSIX |
| 36 |
is approximately equal to en_US as far as date/time, sorting, etc. but |
| 37 |
lacks most of the numeric formatting (no currency symbol, no thousands |
| 38 |
separator, etc). It's also using the default US-ASCII character set. |
