Someone should warn Apple then, since $LANG has been set to en_US.UTF-8 by default in OS X for years now. I just checked, and sed/grep/vi/ed/etc all still work. :) > > It's a good idea to change it. We have outgrown ISO-Latin1, and UTF-8 solves a host of ugly I18N interoperability problems when used consistently. I am years use ru_RU.KOI8-R. Now I try use ru_RU.UTF8 and got some issuse (on 10-STABLE). 9.x and OS may have dufferent version of software and don't touch this. vi ~/tips.work /home/slw/tips.work: unmodified: line 1; Conversion error on line 3 This is koi8 file in utf8 locale. Other case -- file names in koi8 locale -- this is invalid in utf-8. Change locale from C to utf8 may cause trouble. This is (change from one-byte tu multi-bytes locale) may be do individualy, after inspecting systems. This is may be OK for new install, but not [automatic] for update/upgrade.
