No.   On my desktop, locale shows

LANG=en_GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8

(all of which get transmitetd to the remote server where I run sage)

and there's also

GDM_LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

which may be relevant (GDM is Gnome Display Manager or similar).

I also just noticed that (on the desktop) display man pages also has
some malformed characters.

Feel free to give up!
