Just run /usr/bin/locale in your terminal. The key value is LC_CTYPE,
which specifies characters and case conversion.
You can test your terminal's ability to handle various locales with a
simple script:
----- %< -----
#!/bin/bash
LANG=C
for loc in $(locale -a | grep utf8 | sort); do
echo "Locale: $loc"
# Aug 1, 2004 was a Sunday, Aug 7 a Saturday
for n in $(seq 1 7); do
LANG="$loc" date +"%A (%a)" -d 2004/8/${n}
done
for n in $(seq 1 12); do
LANG="$loc" date +"%B (%b)" -d 2004/${n}/1
done
echo
done
