Sorry, it's a bit trickier than that. I said "touching", not "using" as in "UTF-8 locale". Any locale system needs a common base to build locale descriptions from. Unicode, or something functionally equivalent to it -- but given that we need to support Unicode locales anyway, it makes the most sense --- provides that common base. So anything that affects Unicode handling implicitly affects the entire locale system. LANG=3DC is the exception, because by the locale specificati= on it is the null mapping / what you would get if there were no locale system at all.
