You have specified a locale which does not have a multibyte encoding.

If you want to use ISO 10646, you'll have to create a locale which
specifies it.  FreeBSD supports UTF-8 (under the obsolete name
``UTF-2''), but no locales are provided or supported which use that
character set.  You can translate between ISO 10646 and your locale's
current character set, ISO 8859-2, using the iconv() library
function.  (This is not currently provided in FreeBSD, but the ports
collection contains several librararies which implement it.)
