# /etc/locale.conf — the system locale.
#
# Same name and same format as systemd's, because it is the file anyone would
# look for and there is nothing to gain by inventing a third convention.
#
# **Only the charset half of this is real.** SchOS's libc is musl, which
# decodes and encodes UTF-8 whatever the locale says and ships no locale data
# at all -- so collation is still codepoint order, and messages are still
# English, whichever language is named below. What LANG does here is tell the
# programs that ask that the terminal is UTF-8, which is what stops them
# falling back to ASCII-only output.
#
# C.UTF-8 says exactly that and claims nothing else. A regional value
# (pl_PL.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8) is accepted and behaves identically today; set it
# if you want the intent recorded.

LANG=C.UTF-8
