None of these variables are set (with `docker run -it fedora:25 /bin/bash`).

Only important case for me: What when LANG is unset?

https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/C.UTF-8#Defaults mentions that
C.UTF-8 should be glibc's default.
This bug report also mentions Python:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17318
It hasn't been fixed yet, though
Jan Niklas Hasse added the comment:
Actually in a new Docker container, the LANG variable isn't set at all.
Defaulting to UTF-8 in that case should be easier to reason about, shouldn't it?

Unfortunately no, as this would mean I'll have to change all my python
invocations in my scripts and it wouldn't work for executable files with
#!/usr/bin/env python3
would it?

New submission from Jan Niklas Hasse:
Working with Docker I often end up with an environment where the locale isn't
correctly set. In these cases it would be great if sys.getfilesystemencoding()
could default to 'utf-8' instead of 'ascii', as it's the encoding of the future
and ascii
