Hello! I wonder about POSIX.utf-?8, i tried to remember any statement i had read, and Mantis did not show up results.
In particular i am interested in whether LC_CTYPE results will bring true Unicode support or not, the reason i am asking is that the upcoming version of my work-box GNU LibC-based (2.34) Linux distribution will provide it like localedef -i POSIX -f UTF-8 $PKG/usr/lib/locale/C.UTF-8 2> /dev/null || true and then this thing is detected as an UTF-8 locale, but causes three test failures of the MUA i maintain because character set conversion behaves differently. My personal opinion was that POSIX.utf8 will bring the complete range of Unicode characters to at least LC_CTYPE, i wonder about LC_COLLATE, as language matching is, hm, very language specific. The rest not (maybe LC_MESSAGES going for UTF-8 though). Is that approximately correct?
