It lacked _any_ built-in support for utf-8 at the time the locale work was done. That's why eggert special-cased it, according to the commentary and what I recall in mail. I didn't hear a good reason for maintaining the exclusion in 21.1. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
