To be honest, I do not know. :) LIBC6 converts the encoding name into internal representation, so in case of UTF-8, it will check for existance a directory called `.UTF-8', and then `.utf8'.
As for the UTF-8, I do not know whether UTF-8 is well supported by other programs. So, it's too early to use it, I believe. -- Mike
