Hmm...well, my locale is "POSIX". In other words, I don't set one. The reason I don't set one is that terminal programs such as xterm aren't aware of UTF-8 and don't properly render certain punctuation characters when the locale is set to en_US.UTF-8.

xterm's supported UTF-8 for several years (the "uxterm" script is an
example of how to set it up).

regarding "certain punctuation characters", your comment gives no clues.

Oh, excellent, that's exactly what I needed. That option wasn't widely available on Linux when I first ran into this problem.

The "certain punctuation characters" include, but are not limited to, hyphens, quotes, and apostrophes.
