According to Stefan Wold:

Interesting.  I'm using an unmodified (albeit updated) Red Hat 7.2 system,
and htdig 3.1.6 handles accented characters just fine with the sv_SE
locale.  This raises the question of what modifications were made to your
7.1 system.  I suppose it could be attributed to a 7.1 bug that's fixed
in 7.2, but I'd expect that if you installed any update RPMs for 7.1
you'd get the same fixes.  7.1 ships with glibc-common-2.2.2-10.i386.rpm,
but the errata updates for 7.1 include glibc-common-2.2.4-19.3.i386.rpm
which is what I'm running on my 7.2 system.

Another question I have in my mind is how are you setting your locale
for htdig?  You should simply have the directive

  locale: sv_SE

in your htdig.conf.  Make sure it's not getting swallowed by the previous
definition or some other such problem (see FAQ 5.31).

With glibc-common-2.2 on Red Hat 7.x, the locale definitions are in
/usr/lib/locale, not /usr/share/locale.  The latter is just used for
program LC_MESSAGES files.

I assume you mean testlocale above, and not rundig.  Or are you just
trying to pass the locale setting to rundig via an environment variable?
That won't work!  See FAQ 5.8.
