Comment (by leonardo.schenkel@…):

 I don't touch LANG as well. In all Macs I have ever owned, in all OS X
 versions I can remember, Terminal.app sets the locale like this:
 {{{
 LANG=<locale from regional settings>.UTF-8
 LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
 }}}

 I never saw plain "C" for LANG, though, which is curious.

 Why it uses "UTF-8" for LC_CTYPE and not a well-formed locale name is a
 mystery to me, especially since it can do that just well for LANG — and
 since LANG is already defined as a UTF-8 locale, there's no need to set
 LC_CTYPE at all.

 I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that the relevant specs say
 that all locales must be in the form of `lang_country_variant.charset`
 with notable exceptions ("C", "POSIX"). Even though "UTF-8" exists as a
 locale in the Mac, it's not supposed to be a valid locale name. I even
 tried to create such a locale via `locale-gen` on Linux systems and it
 refuses to do so.
