Because the /etc/logale.gen file tells us: # Where <locale> is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and # where <charmap> is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. and in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ you will find: UTF-8.gz The next comment says: # For the default list of supported combinations, see the file: # /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED which shows: en_US.UTF-8 > That's probably what the kernel thinks.
