True. > What do you think of the following patch instead? It probably needs to > stay Debian-specific since C.UTF-8 is not widely supported outside > Debian. Over the years I have grown wary of Debian-specific changes; however, this is a great idea and I have gotten a more general change applied upstream: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/commit/42285ac9893f6ce82b44d00061a4ef702ef22cbe (Original commit message in https://github.com/tmux/tmux/pull/994) This way it also benefits Fedora users, where C.UTF-8 is supported too. I will backport this commit in a future tmux package update, and drop the locales dependency. Thank you for the great suggestion!
