--- Comment #5 from Friedrich W. H. Kossebau <[email protected]> ---
Things failing on "LANG=en":
 Just "en" as locale value for the "LANG" variable does not work, the locale
needs to be of form ‘ll_CC’ [LOCALENAME]. The shortcut ‘ll’ only is understood
for the "LANGUAGE" variable [LANGUAGE]. So with "LANG=en" the value will be
ignored and instead the system will fall back to use the "C" locale. Which
means an "unspecified character encoding (often US-ASCII, but sometimes also
ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8, depending on the operating system)" [LOCALENAMES].

Things failing on "LANG=en_US":
I could not find a proper linkable documentation, but everything hints to that
the locale "en_US" is having the charset "iso8859-1". So to get UTF.8 set as
system charset, one needs to reference the locale variant "en_US.UTF-8".

V字龍(Vdragon), can you confirm that things work properly for you once you use
the locale variant "en_US.UTF-8"?
I will already close this bug report as resolved/waitingforinfo, as I am pretty
sure this should solve the issue :)
