Changed paths: M locale.c Log Message: ----------- locale.c: Make sure UTF-8 flag is off on a scalar The contents of this scalar at this moment are the name of a code set, such as CP1252, UTF-8, 8859-1, etc. I believe all such names contain just ASCII characters. I finally got around to checking if the sv_setpvf() functions clear the UTF-8 flag. They don't. GH #21921 adds documentation to that effect. One of those functions was used to populate this SV. Since the result is ASCII, the UTF-8 flag is immaterial except for performance. Prior to this commit, it retained its previous value, but its better practice (and can speed things up a bit) to turn it off for ASCII content.
