For date command, it only sees LC_TIME. LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TIME=ja_JP.eucjp date shows mojibake. But it's not a problem, because changing LC_CTYPE from C to C.UTF-8 doesn't break anything. It's broken at start. Use UTF-8 everywhere, anytime is best way to avoid mojibake. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
