     5         kx # en_US is the default locale:

     5         kx # 'C' is the UNIX default, which is 127-bit ASCII with a charmap
     5         kx # setting of ANSI_X3.4-1968. These days, it's better to use en_US
     5         kx # or another modern $LANG setting to support extended character sets.

     5         kx # There is also support for UTF-8 locales, but be aware that
     5         kx # some programs are not yet able to handle UTF-8 and will fail to
     5         kx # run properly. In those cases, you can set LANG=C before
     5         kx # starting them. Still, I'd avoid UTF unless you actually need it.
     5         kx #export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

     5         kx # Another option for en_US:

     5         kx # One side effect of the newer locales is that the sort order
     5         kx # is no longer according to ASCII values, so the sort order will
     5         kx # change in many places. Since this isn't usually expected and
     5         kx # can break scripts, we'll stick with traditional ASCII sorting.
     5         kx # If you'd prefer the sort algorithm that goes with your $LANG
     5         kx # setting, comment this out.
