> Using LC_ALL is strongly discouraged as it overrides everything. Please use it only when testing and never set it in a startup file. https://wiki.debian.org/Locale It is better to set everything explicitly in "/etc/default/locale" Even better: use $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales it will generate all locales you need AND set the default one in this file. There is NO reason to use anything except UTF-8 in 2021 >
