9 No. Glibc-2.4-r1 used .utf8 locales.. Just as an example of .utf8 usage
10 even before glibc-2.4 read this Gentoo Weekly NewsLetter:

14 If you read it carefully you can see the Zulu locale for South Africa
15 being written as zu_ZA.utf8.. Even on my system with 2.4-r1 glibc the
16 locales were like en_US.utf8 and after upgrading to 2.4-r2 they are
17 still the same..
