Datapoint: I proposed to add a C.UTF-8 locale to eglibc via Debian, almost a decade ago. Debian’s GNU libc packages have been shipping C.UTF-8 since about 2013 or so, and there have been numerous problems with its precise implementation (as it turns out that it’s *extremely* tricky to implement correctly, FSVO correct). Please contact Aurélien Jarno, who has been maintaining this, for any detail information on this, how this has evolved and why and consider to standardise this existing variant (possibly bugfixing it where, if at all, necessary). bye, //mirabilos -- 22:20⎜<asarch> The crazy that persists in his craziness becomes a master 22:21⎜<asarch> And the distance between the craziness and geniality is only measured by the success 18:35⎜<asarch> "Psychotics are consistently inconsistent.
