Note: 1474927, 1578830, and 1652451 all seem to refer to the same issue. The
error code noted is documented here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/FAQ#Exit_status_8
This followed by a reboot or logging back in ought to resolve the issue:
sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.utf8
If you've done something invasive with locales, you might need to do something
more invasive to resolve the issue, as noted here:

on-gnome-3-12-2/651169#651169
