More details here: C.UTF-8 is a glibc only thing: https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/C.UTF-8 not even mainstream. The closest thing to a C locale with unicode would be to set everything to locale C but LC_CTYPE which would be set to en_US.UTF-8. The problem is if your data for ctype comes from CLDR they are different per locales. On FreeBSD, Dragonfly and Illumos, we have extected it so LC_CTYPE is the same on all locales.
